About this episode
Hannah Dasher discusses her journey from a competitive cooking family in Georgia to becoming a viral sensation and country music star with her new cookbook.
Hannah Dasher grew up near Savannah, Georgia, raised by a “pistol-packing” grandmother and a family that was fiercely competitive about cooking and entertaining. After college, she moved to Nashville to chase her dream of being a country music star, driven by a love of Elvis, Reba, and Hank Jr. During the summer of 2020, stuck at home in quarantine, Hannah launched a series of cooking videos that blended her sense of humor with her musical talents. It quickly went viral, helping her build an audience of more than 1.5 million followers. In 2021, she released her debut EP, The Half Record, and was named one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country.” Now she’s bringing her love of cooking and entertaining to a new cookbook, Stand By Your Pan: 100 Easy and Affordable Comfort Food Recipes So Good They’ll Hurt People’s Feelings. Sid talks to Hannah about her recipes, her belief that “food is a ministry,” and her new EP, Scattered, Smothered & Covered.
