Not A Single Fork

It's hard to not talk about the holidays during the holidays. I guess it's expected and it is only once a year. Today's episode is no exception...it is holiday themed although we do take our occasional side road into Rantville with Natalia. She doesn't expect much from food industry people or actually any people at all, just do your eff-ing job. She says it much more colorfully but you get the ide...

As you work your way through the Thanksgiving leftovers, give this episode a listen. We're taking you on a journey through holiday parties, Italian food and pasta making and finally, wait for it...cuffing. Do you know what cuffing is? It's apparently really big in Alaska. I won't spoil it for you but you'll want to listen for that. I tried out my birthday mattarello, an Italian rolling pin. I will...

We made it! We always say that as if we're not going to make it but we manage to get through Thanksgiving every year. This was an especially good one and we share those highlights with you along with ideas for your Turkey Day leftovers. I mean, it was just yesterday and you know you have got a bunch of food that still needs to be eaten. We cover a lot of ground with our ideas, too. Everything from...

Happy Almost Thanksgiving! We're gearing up for the cooking extravaganza, how about you? Not ready? Well...we're here with some more tips, tricks, hacks, advice and the occasional movie review. More kryptonite! This time in the form of what to do with appliances and broader food questions. Broiler talk. You can't really cook under your broiler. It's for finishing food. In a restaurant kitchen, it'...

You know us. We're all about breaking traditions or more accurately, creating new ones. But before we get into that, we had to make our usual side trips. Our distractions included Superman and Batman movies and then the actual characters. Who to have a relationship with and who to just have sex with. Then we got into the meat of things (so to speak). More food kryptonite and solutions for the issu...

It's November (in case you didn't notice) and we're jumping head first into holiday food and cooking. Our Facebook Live Holiday Spectacular was a great success. I think everyone had a great time. If you missed it, you can catch up on on Facebook page, Chef Candace Conley The Girl Can Cook!. Additional questions? Bring them on by commenting or emailing us. We're here for you! We failed to mention t...

Our favorite time holiday is just around the corner! And, yes, in this episode, I totally get it wrong. Halloween is not on Sunday. Not sure why I was fixated on that but I was. Halloween is Monday. Still not a great day for it but on the bright side, it is a fun way to start your week. Spend this episode hearing about childhood Halloween stories and how much fun it is to actually be able to start...

We don't usually talk about specific recipes but there are always exceptions, right? And this is one. In our last recipe video drop, surprisingly, we showed you a lot of vegetarian options. I say surprisingly because it's not necessarily a focus for us. Vegetarian cooking, that is. We don't dislike it. It's just not something we seek it out so when we end up sharing vegetarian recipes...it just ha...

Like it or not, the holidays are coming and people can actually entertain again. But can you remember how? I mean, it's been two years since we can have people in the house and feed them. So we're here to help you with the food and cooking part. This episode is all about what's coming to your screens on October 18th. It's the video version of Dinner Party 101. Now, we got a blog post on the websit...

Actually, we never left but welcome back! Natalia and I spent the summer not only re-tooling our little podcast, Not A Single Fork, but working on online classes, special online offerings, in-person classes and more. We are changing out format to episodes only so no seasons in our new look and sound. It gives us more flexibility especially because we have monthly topics going on in our socials, on...

Do you remember when we started the podcast? Summer of 2019 and we’re still here. We’re still “not here” but never fear, we will be back with new episodes soon. It’s taking a bit longer than anticipated because we are changing things up. Don’t worry! It’s still Candace and Natalia and still irreverent as ever … Continue reading Beginning Again →

During our very first season, we spent the whole time talking about food and cooking. I mean, we were just getting started and hadn’t really figured this whole podcast thing out. Still working on that, by the way. In an effort to make things more fun and interesting, I had Natalia play a game with … Continue reading Let’s Play A Game (For The Second Time) →

Remember when we really wanted to talk to the people from the Holiday Hotlines? We’re so glad we got that out of our systems although when I listened back to this episode from Season 5, it was so funny and worth it, I guess. We’re still taking a break but will be back in the … Continue reading Ridiculous-ness Is Back! →

Since we’ve been playing a lot of your favorite episodes, I thought it would be fun to play one of our favorites from the archives. Season 4 from the Fall of 2020 was all about food stories and, in general, was one of our favorite seasons. We talked to a lot of different people from … Continue reading With A Side of Coors Banquet →

“To Market, To Market” aka Season 3 of Not A Single Fork was epic. Not because we were able to execute on our plans to visit some fun places to shop for food but because well…we couldn’t. We were trapped in the beginning of what would become the Pandemic Odyssey so we invented ways to … Continue reading We Never Made It To The Damn Market →

And, isn’t that a fun logo. It belongs to a butcher in Cape Town, South Africa of the same name and we’re borrowing it to emphasize our episode. But first…THIS! We’re taking a break. But we don’t want you to forget about us! We started this podcast back in 2019 with our opening season based … Continue reading The Greatest Hits (We’re Not Here) →

I really can’t say this enough but this week has been one helluva week! Yep, it exploded. We had the floor drains back up into our dishwashing area after Tuesday’s class. And, what we thought would be a simple “snaking” of the pipes turned into an all Wednesday afternoon, $$$$ investment. Could have been worse. … Continue reading We Made It! Finally! →

Weird title, right? Well…that’s because although we recorded the final episode for Season 9, we can’t air it. It kinda exploded. When that happens, we don’t want you to go without so we’re re-running one of the old favorites. And, that’s what this is. The Season 2 finale was one of the most popular episodes … Continue reading One Of The Popular Ones →

And, we’re back with more! More food and fun and kinda weird throwback recipes that frankly, no one can believe anyone would eat, back in the day. We’re pretty fascinated with throwback/retro recipes so we’re going to be sharing lots of them in our online classes. April’s lessons (dropping on the 15th, it’ll make Tax … Continue reading You Gotta Love A Good Throwback →

Happy to report that Natalia returned in the nick of time from NOLA and in this episode, shares (overshares?) their escapades in the great state of Louisiana. From St. Patrick’s Day parades and crawfish boils in Baton Rouge to restaurants off the beaten path in NOLA, you will hear it all because in true Natalia … Continue reading Adventures With Natalia →

This has been quite the journey and basically, shit show. Somehow we lost the Not A Single Fork website posts but they are still existing somewhere out in the podcasting universe. We are making every effort to not lose them but we’ve had no control over anything else so…who knows!? In this episode, Natalia has … Continue reading Evolution Of The Online Classes →

Ummm…well, I remember 1968 and in this episode, we take a walk down Memory Lane via a well-preserved magazine. We’re also talking Throwbacks because we’re going to be offering up some throwback recipes in our online classes. I know, I know, you guys like to call them “retro” and yes, they are that, too. But … Continue reading 1968? Who Remembers That? →

Wondering when you were going to get that notification that a new episode had dropped? Well, wait no longer. We have a take a little break between seasons so we can get some fresh ideas, take a little break and then come back with some more fun for you. Remember how we told you at … Continue reading Miss Us? Good Cuz We’re Back! →

Welcome to almost 2022! Let's put 2021 in the rearview and move on! Let's include 2020 in that rearview as well, in fact, way, way back. So, we come to the last episode of Season 8 and this year. And, yes, several seasons ago, we talked about black eyed peas but since we seriously need some good juju, we thought, why not? Let's go again and maybe throw in some additional tidbits...like a recipe! B...

As per usual, right before Christmas, we do a short and sweet episode because we're all busy, right? This one happens to be a foreshadowing. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? No worries. This is a positive one so maybe consider it a teaser of sorts. We're going to tell you about one of our projects that will appear shortly after the first of the year...like the third week of January. We know you can't g...
