Top Five Podcasts to Listen to While Cooking

With everyone in quarantine or social distancing, many are turning to cooking as the new skill to learn. Cheaper than taking online classes, and tastier than learning yoga, cooking seems to be all over everyone's Instagram feed. Everywhere you look, people are sharing all sorts of quarantine recipes from bread to potstickers to homemade pasta.

But cooking requires a lot of time and your full attention. So what can you do while cooking?

Try reading a book while you are baking and you may end up with brownie batter covering the answer to the who-dun-it, or eating a slice of cheesecake and finding that bookmark you thought you lost.

Streaming TV could be the answer, but then you can get in trouble when you are distracted for too long watching the screen, and the soup you created boils over.

Here at Evergreen, we believe podcasts are the perfect solution.

No screen to take your eyes off the task at hand and no pages to catch on fire. Nothing you can drop in batter or accidentally end up in the oven. Listening to a podcast while cooking is the easiest way to keep your mind active while creating delicious creations to brag about to all your friends.

Here are the Top Five Podcasts to Listen to While Cooking:

The Kitchen Counter

Other episodes talk you through the proper way of washing veggies, and similar helpful tips and tricks.
