A Toast to Our September Tastemaker: My Drunk Kitchen
Do you love to cook but hate doing it sober? No? How about fun, wonderful people? Do you like them? In either case, have we got a Tastemaker for you!
Aspiring comedienne Hannah Hart started off with an inconspicuous video for a friend. While cooking can sometimes get so frustrating many of us feel the urge to hit the bottle, Hannah decided to skip a few steps and start drinking right off the bat. Nine months later, her very funny show My Drunk Kitchen and her winning personality are taking the internet by storm. If the fun factor of cooking were ever in question, Hannah Hart is the answer. We are so pumped to have My Drunk Kitchen as our Hungry Nation Tastemaker this month. Throughout the month she’ll be popping up in videos with some of our Hungry Nation creators, and she’ll also do a Hungry Nation episode in which she reviews food porn. Don’t worry, it’ll be safe for work! Today’s video has Hannah whipping up some stupidly simple sangria with our very own Amy Cao, and gives you a chance to get to know Hannah a little better. And what do you know? She’s got her very own YouTube channel too! So head on over there to watch all of the My Drunk Kitchen episodes. Warning: her hilarious videos might lead to binge viewing, so watch responsibly.

Everyone should watch Claudia’s cooking show if only to ogle the amazing southern California produce. Seriously, do it for me.
Mmmmmmmm Me Gusta the Mmm Me Gusta Cooking Show SoCal cooking never looked so good. Meet Claudia Yuskoff, head chef and host of Mmm Me Gusta. She may describe it as “a little cooking show,” but her recipes are anything but small. From the god-like, Quail in Rose Petal Sauce, to the libacious, Cazadores Margaritas, Claudia cooks up rich Mexican cuisine sure to tingle your taste buds. But don’t just take it from us, take a moment to get to know Claudia for yourself with this week’s Hungry Nation: Meet & Eat. For many Americans, the recession was a very low point in their lives. Claudia was among the unfortunate to lose their jobs, but she didn’t just make lemonade from the situation – she made a whole cooking show! Unemployment drove her to seek solace in the kitchen, and it was there Mmm Me Gusta was born.
Sipping on Horchata, her favorite childhood drink, Claudia talks about her experiences so far and shows off the source of her inspiration. If her recipes aren’t enough to make you drool, her gorgeous California kitchen sure will! In fact, may we suggest investing in a bib before you watch her videos? Your wardrobe will thank you. So devoted is she to using fresh, organic ingredients that she actually grows many of them in her garden. We can’t wait to see what she whips up with those watermelons. Seriously, we can’t wait. Claudia, if you’re reading this: Spoilers Welcome.
Subscribe to the Mmm Me Gusta channel to share her passion for food. Don’t worry if you find yourself falling in love with her work, the feeling is very mutual. She loves connecting with her audience, especially with the help of YouTube. Like so many of our Hungry Nation personalities, she does it for the love of food and all the food lovers.
We’ve still got a long way to go before Labor Day, folks. Heat has decided to summer in your backyard this year, and you just have to make do. So why not combine relaxation and refreshment when you’re looking to cool down? I’m talking about none other than…

i own 3 of the 5 essential cooking tools. this means i’m an adult, right?
Hungry for our brand spanking new show, Fresh Five?
Well tuck a napkin in your shirt collar because we’ve got the premiere episode for you right here, fresh off the grill. Okay, we didn’t actually grill the video – it was more of a light searing. Hungry in Brooklyn’s Shea Hess helps us ring in the inaugural episode with her top five cooking tools she simply can’t live without. Spoiler alert: the microwave doesn’t make the cut. But seriously, whether browsing the kitchen section at Bed, Bath and Beyond or a boutique cooking supply store – picking out tools can be daunting, not to mention expensive. The truth is you don’t need to fill your cabinets with every contraption in the catalogue to whip up a delicious meal. Less might even be more – or at least easier. Don’t get us wrong, if buying an ice cream maker is an essential for your kitchen we aren’t going to stop you – in fact we might request a pint or two. Consider these five recommended tools to be a helpful guide, a reference point, a friendly suggestion. And whether you are hungry in Pawtucket, Milwaukee or Spokane, Hungry in Brooklyn has lots of tasty, simple recipes for the organic at heart. Make sure to check out their latest video here! Hopefully we whet your appetite with this Fresh Five, because we have more in the oven from our Hungry Nation creators to get you thinking creatively about all things food. Stay tuned for more new shows on Hungry Nation. Bon appétit!

january eat-in: seasoned turkey meatballs w/ pine-nuts and raisins, garlic and lemon yogurt sauce, sauteed kale, butternut squash soup
side-creation: homemade guacamole
NBD, just some turket meatballs i whipped up for din last night. based on a recipe my sister gave me- they were every bit delicious sans the cumin the recipe commanded which we did not have. also made a quick lemon, garlic yogurt sauce for the balls- it sufficed but a bit too tart. he sauteed the kale and we reheated the soup for quite the colorful meal.
While the meatballs baked, I also salvaged some fast ripening avocados with a homemade guacamole - the spoils of which i’m enjoying now with some organic corn chips.
