Welcome back, survivors! In this episode, Elaine finds herself in the bowels of State HQ's commercial kitchen, reluctantly teaming up with Ryan, the Secretary of Free Stuff and Promo Codes. Together, they attempt to prepare a "Liquid Bonanza"—a State-mandated meal that includes a protein slurry and a banana smoothie. Ryan’s relentless enthusiasm and promotion of 1-800-HAM collide may raise an eyebrow or two but you know what they say: This is the State’s latest food policy, so get used to it!

S3 E10 Joe The Plumber's "Steak" Tartare
Thu, 17 Oct 2024 07:30:00 GMT
As we continue through this thrilling final season, Elaine Martínez, DDS, finds herself still in the grip of The State, but hope glimmers on the horizon. This week, in the luxurious yet ominous State HQ kitchen, Elaine prepares a delicacy that’s equal parts classic and unsettling: "steak" tartare. Alongside her, we meet Joe the Plumber, your everyman State-appointed guest who brings oodles of charm, despite his rather...controlled dialogue.
Join Elaine as she:
Delves into the peculiar history of steak tartare, with references to Turco-Mongol warriors, Freud, and more.
Struggles with State-imposed cooking restrictions while hilariously adapting to new ingredients like lab-grown peas and crow-laid eggs.
Contemplates her role and the sacrifice she's made while trying to maintain her dignity in a world of forced State propaganda.
Ingredients:
Beef (preferably synthetic, lab-grown, bacteria-free, as per The State's standards)
2 tsp sherry vinegar
½ tsp dry mustard
2 large egg yolks
½ cup light olive oil
6 tbsp finely diced shallots
2 tbsp small brined capers (unrinsed)
1 tsp kosher salt
¼ cup celery leaves, finely chopped (divided)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (divided)
1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
Special crow egg for topping
Lab-grown peas (pureed with mint and lemon juice)
Instructions:
Prepare the dressing: In a small blue bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, dry mustard, and egg yolks. Slowly stream in olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
Add flavor: Stir in shallots, capers, salt, 2/3 of the celery leaves, parsley, and lemon zest.
Meat preparation: Fold the dressing into the ground beef, mixing it by hand to ensure the flavors meld together.
Shape the tartare: Use a pastry ring to mold the beef into a perfect circle on the plate. Remove the ring for that artful presentation.
Finish with an egg: Crack a crow-laid egg on top of the tartare for a bold final touch.
Lab-grown peas: Blend the peas with a splash of lemon juice, mint, and olive oil for a creamy, zesty side.
Lab-grown peas: Don't worry about frozen—these are freshly grown in the lab and glowing with vibrant green.
Crow eggs: For an extra touch of State-sanctioned oddity, top your dish with a crow egg laid on command.
Survival strategy: Elaine advises that while lab-grown ingredients may seem unsettling, adaptability is key to thriving under The State.

Elaine's Champurrado for the Soul: A Holiday Minisode!
Thu, 10 Oct 2024 07:30:00 GMT
Elaine and Sam reunite for a (slightly out of season) holiday episode, though still under the watchful control of The State. Together, they prepare champurrado, a traditional Mexican holiday drink, in a maximally secured room, all while sharing lighthearted banter and bittersweet memories. With The State’s approval looming over every moment, the pair create a warm, nostalgic treat in a bleak world. Despite the oppressive circumstances, the holiday spirit flickers through Elaine and Sam’s friendship, as they reminisce about simpler times and embrace a rare moment of joy.
Key Moments:
Elaine and Sam reunite under The State’s strict control, kicking off the episode with their usual humor and resilient spirit.
Sam wins “Prisoner of the Month” by mistake, giving an unintentionally hilarious insight into The State’s operations.
Together, they joke about rejected holiday recipes (such as Abba Zabba casserole) before settling on a delicious traditional dish: champurrado.
The recipe-making process involves banter about piloncillo, Mexican chocolate, and their past at LA Dental Care.
As they sip their champurrado, Elaine and Sam share a heartfelt moment, expressing gratitude for each other in the midst of their grim reality.
Champurrado Recipe:
Ingredients:
4 cups milk (or milk alternative)
2 oz piloncillo (or brown sugar)
1 Mexican chocolate tablet (or substitute with dark chocolate)
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup masa harina (corn flour)
1 cup warm water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, piloncillo, Mexican chocolate, and the cinnamon stick. Stir occasionally as the mixture heats up.
While waiting for the chocolate mixture, in a separate bowl, whisk together the masa harina and warm water until smooth. The consistency should resemble thin cake batter.
Once the chocolate mixture begins to simmer, slowly whisk in the masa harina mixture. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and pour into mugs. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
Holiday Vibes: The cinnamon and chocolate combination is perfect for the holiday season. For an extra festive touch, garnish with a cinnamon stick or sprinkle a bit of chili powder for heat.
Masa Magic: The masa harina gives champurrado its signature thick texture, transforming this drink into a rich, comforting holiday treat.

S3 E9 The Secretary of Human Rights Presents: A Tenderloin Banquet with Purple Mashed Potatoes
Thu, 03 Oct 2024 07:30:00 GMT
Elaine finds herself once again in the clutches of The State, only this time, she’s given a platform—albeit a heavily controlled one. In this bizarre new twist, Elaine is forced to host a state-sponsored cooking show featuring the Secretary of Human Rights himself. Together, they prepare a grand feast, including lab-grown tenderloin and luxurious purple mashed potatoes, while grappling with the ever-watchful eyes of The State. As always, Elaine manages to make even the bleakest situations slightly absurd, using food as a way to subtly rebel and stay connected to her humanity. Meanwhile, her old friend Sam makes a brief, but hopeful, appearance, reminding her that there is still light in the dark.
Key Moments:
Elaine begins the episode in a state-of-the-art kitchen with the unnerving presence of the Secretary of Human Rights. Despite her imprisonment, she uses humor to cope with the new “public” format.
Sam struggles to bring in a sack of potatoes, creating a lighthearted moment in the midst of the tension, only to be abruptly dragged away by The State’s robotic enforcers.
Elaine and the Secretary discuss everything from potatoes to power dynamics, with Elaine attempting to maintain her defiance while the Secretary remains unfazed by her charm.
The pair prepare purple mashed potatoes, but not without the Secretary banning several key ingredients and replacing friendly conversation with rigid state propaganda.
In the outro, Elaine reflects deeply on her confinement and what it means to grow complacent in captivity, stirring thoughts of resistance among her listeners.
Purple Mashed Potatoes Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 pounds purple potatoes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk or unsweetened milk alternative
Salt and pepper to taste
Roasted garlic (from 1 head)
Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions:
Peel and halve the potatoes, ensuring all pieces are of similar size. Boil in salted water for about 8-15 minutes until tender.
Roast garlic by cutting off the top of a head of garlic, drizzling with oil, wrapping in foil, and roasting in the oven at 400°F until soft (about 30 minutes).
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the potatoes, then add butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency, adjusting seasoning as needed. Garnish with parsley if available.
Tips and Variations:
State-Sanctioned Simplicity: Keep your ingredients minimal, as Elaine's journey demonstrates that sometimes less is all you can get—but it’s what you do with it that matters.
Purple Power: Purple potatoes offer a twist to the usual mashed potatoes, both visually and nutritionally, as they are rich in antioxidants.

Ingredients:
1 loaf of bread, preferably baguette or any long roll
3 pats of butter
2 teaspoons of sugar
Instructions:
Prepare Your Workspace:
Set up your makeshift kitchen with the salvaged clothes dryer, as Conner demonstrated.
Mix Butter and Sugar:
In a small bowl, mix the butter and sugar until you get a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Prepare the Bread:
Cut the bread into slices and spread the butter-sugar mixture generously on each slice.
Toast the Bread:
Place the slices in the repurposed dryer, setting it to "permanent press" for about 10 minutes.
Check and Serve:
Once the bread is toasted to a golden brown, carefully remove it from the dryer. Enjoy the sweet and savory treat.
Tips and Variations:
Foraging: If you're able to find any fresh herbs like rosemary or sage, feel free to add a sprig for additional flavor.
Survival Tactics: Elaine reminds us that survival is all about scrappiness and creativity. Use what you have and make the best of it!

S3 E1 Elaine's Secret Ingredient Stew
Thu, 20 Jun 2024 07:30:00 GMT
Welcome back, survivors! We've made it to our third and final season. The last ride. We're glad you're here.
In the heart of post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, our favorite dentist-turned-podcaster, Elaine Martínez, DDS, is at it again. In our final-season opener, Elaine finds herself reminiscing about the good old days (you know, dodging bombs and living in bunkers) while stuck in the thick, oily slush of the LA River. But fear not, dear listeners, because Elaine’s got a plan to whip up a meal that’s sure to lift your spirits—and it all starts with some pinto beans, a dash of vinegar, and a whole lot of perseverance.
Join Elaine as she:
Reflects on her past adventures with Sam and encounters with the mysterious Courier.
Shares her recipe for a hearty pinto bean stew, perfect for those damp, dreary nights when you're hiding from The State.
Delivers a heartfelt monologue that reminds us all to keep fighting, keep cooking, and keep hoping—even when the world feels like it’s crumbling around us.
Special Thanks to Our Sponsor: Stick! 🌿 Whether you’re poking at the fire, defending yourself from feral children, or just trying to keep the spiderwebs off, Stick is your versatile, multipurpose tool for the post-apocalyptic world. Pick one up wherever deforestation by The State occurs!
Tune in for a mix of humor, survival tips, and heartwarming moments that’ll keep you coming back for more. Remember, in the darkest times, a little laughter and a warm meal can make all the difference. 🍲✨
Ingredients:
1 can of pinto beans, semi-drained
1 bouillon cube
1 onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh rainwater (or as fresh as you can get)
Instructions:
Prepare Your Workspace:
Set up your portable gas stove under a sheltered area. Elaine found a bridge in Griffith Park—use whatever cover you can find!
Heat the Oil:
In a one-quart pot, heat the vegetable oil over your portable gas stove.
Sauté the Onion:
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
Add the Garlic:
Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook until fragrant.
Add the Beans:
Pour in the semi-drained can of pinto beans. Give them a gentle mash to release some of the starchiness, which will help thicken the stew.
Prepare the Broth:
In a separate container, dissolve the bouillon cube in about a cup of collected rainwater. Pour this broth into the pot with the beans and onions.
Simmer:
Allow the mixture to simmer until it reaches a thick and hearty consistency.
Season:
Add salt and pepper to taste. If you're lucky enough to have pepper packets (thanks, Courier!), sprinkle those in.
The Secret Ingredient:
Just before serving, stir in one tablespoon of white vinegar. This will brighten up the flavors and give the stew a little extra zing.
Serve:
If you have bowls, great! If not, you can enjoy it straight from the pot. Elaine and Courier opted for the "Lady and the Tramp" style.
Tips and Variations:
Foraging: If you're able to find any fresh herbs like rosemary or sage, feel free to add a sprig for additional flavor.
Survival Tactics: Elaine reminds us that survival is all about scrappiness and creativity. Use what you have and make the best of it!

2.13 Sam and Jo's Peanut Butter Protein Balls
Sat, 26 Mar 2022 08:00:00 GMT
Please read on for a full disclaimer/content warnings.
Welcome to the Season 2 finale of Elaine's Cooking Podcast for the soul, a post-apocalyptic cooking podcast for survivors and thrivers! Today we still have Jo, we're now joined by Courier and Sam, and we even have a little leftover peanut butter. Pretty lucky, all things considered.
**DISCLAIMER**
We at Elaine's are so proud of the work involved, but want to be conscientious to any person in our audience whose heart and mental health has struggled in grappling with the topics and imagery of political violence.
We never figured that by the time we released the finale, a new war would be springing up & very real nuclear threat would be looming so large. I hope folks have taken the time to learn about what is happening in Ukraine & have found ways to support in whatever way possible. We’ve donated to and highly recommend more people check out Doctors Without Borders and World Central Kitchen.
I’m taking a page out of August McLaughlin’s most recent book in letting you know that you can & should be aware of how you’re feeling as you listen. Feel free to stop and walk away and ground yourself at any time if you’re feeling triggered by the sound effects.
There are explosions, pills rattling, & shell shock sound effects in these upcoming two episodes. There is coughing, a surgical procedure, and the sound of floss plocking which I created on Logic bc the real sound gives me the willies (not a trauma response but still)
I hope you tune in whenever you feel centered and up for some post apocalyptic cooking. In the words of Rosa Delgado “Despite all the destruction going on it is still a very lovely story about perseverance and wanting to do what’s right.”

S2 E5 Crow Lord's Bougie Bloody Mary
Wed, 17 Nov 2021 03:38:37 GMT
It's our first cocktail recipe ever! Seems fitting that we'd choose a drink that could also serve as a meal.
This Bloody Mary recipe was honed in real life by series creator Alli Slice. Is it the best BM you'll ever have? We think so! Bust out your Dolly Parton mug, pour vodka to taste (optional), and add a celery stick for garnish (if you're living out those blessed pre-pocalyse days), and enjoy fresh over ice! Don't bother trying to save the leftovers for later. It gets weird in the fridge for some reason. Don't know why--we're cooks, not chemists. Cheers!

Friendly gag warning for this episode! Not recommended listening to this while nauseous or if you possess a phobia of odd food combos.
For us over here at Elaine's, it's always good to be boiling up some fresh oats with some old friends.
We hope you enjoy the vibes if not the food (potential motto for the show?).
Stick around through the credits for a trailer from Oz 9 and be sure to go over and support our friends by listening to their zany outer space hijinks by clicking through here! They also just released a comic book if that's your jam and let us be the first to tell you that it. Is. Amazing.

Elaine's Season 1 Trailer (for the Soul)
Fri, 01 Nov 2019 19:14:13 GMT
Elaine's Cooking for the Soul is a post-apocalyptic cooking podcast for the ages that started in 2019 mere minutes before the actual irl global pandemic. This series ponders the realities of how we can sustain ourselves in the most dire of circumstances. The answer? Chia pudding, churros, nuclear missile exchanges, rapid livestock mutation and, of course, chili. In a world where things do not seem like they could possibly get worse, Elaine Martínez, DDS always finds the bright side with her trusty one quart pan and gentle optimistic nihilism.
