      I feel like Sohla is such a people person. She seems to bloom when she's interacting with someone, whether that's Claire or Brad in the old days, Kendall in the Babish Kitchen, Rick or Erin on Food52, or with Ham right here. I'm so happy that this channel saw this and made it a regular thing (weekly even!)

    I love them!!!! Sohla's food dreams are incredible, but before she only had an hour, and one set of hands. It feels like she and Ham together can accomplish anything. Their creative energy, their combined problem solving skills, their practiced division of labor.
    It feels like we are invited guests at an impromptu house party. Their enthusiasm makes my mouth water- they are just as excited by the new weird adventurous stuff they make (pickle cake) as they are about their tried and true favorites (fried pickles). It makes me excited too.
