EatingWell:Whats an underrated ingredient everyone should add to their grilled cheese?
The apple adds sweetness that pairs well with the sharp Cheddar.
It gives a crunch, it adds contrast, but it’s not too out there.
It’s still keeping to your standard comfort food.
EatingWell:Why partner with Pepperidge Farm?
EatingWell:Were so excited for your new cookbook,Justine Cooks!
Whats something unique about your book that you’re free to share?
Doiron:I can give you a bit of a scoop.
This is going to be in an upcoming video of mine, but I can giveEatingWellthe tea.
I havent always had the best relationship with food.
When I started my social media accounts, I used that as my way of healing.
This cookbook is meant for people who want to take care of themselves and eat holistically.
I know that they’re just going to be so wholesome and useful for people’s home kitchens.
EatingWell:What are your top 3 pantry staples?
Doiron:Three is tough.
1 staple is probably a canned bean of any variety.
I think dried beans are my preferred but canned beans are just so approachable for the everyday home cook.
My second pantry staple would have to be really, really good white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar.
If something like a salad needs a bit of a finishing, its just perfect.
I’ve been going through lots of bottles lately.
For my third pantry staple, I am going to say rolled oats because I eat them every day.
EatingWell:Who are your cooking inspirations?
Doiron:Well, Ina Garten just announced her memoir, so she’s top of mind.
EatingWell:Favorite Ina recipe?
That’s just so perfectly Ina.
EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?
There’s even a little excerpt about that in the book.
