Chocolate for breakfast with Roxana Jullapat

About this episode

Greta Johnsen interviews Roxana Jullapat about her new cookbook and the joy of baking with whole grains.

Host Greta Johnsen talks with Roxana Jullapat, head baker and co-owner at the Los Angeles restaurant Friends & Family . Her new cookbook is Morning Baker : Recipes and Rituals for Breakfast and Beyond . In 2019, she wrote Mother Grains: Recipes for the Grain Revolution , a thorough compendium of heritage grains and everything they have to offer.  Roxana says the new cookbook is just as devoted to whole grains, but it’s a little more joyful. “There’s a lot more spontaneity,” she said. “It truly is a reflection of what we make at Friends & Family, and what it means to be a grain head.” SHOW CREDITS Creator and host: Greta Johnsen Senior Producer: Ben Goldberg Composers: Ross Bellenoit and Jeremy Thal Show art: Mac Maclean See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
