Rice Crispy Treats With Shilpa Uskokovic Of Bon Appétit & Hani’s Bakery
Today’s guest is Shilpa Uskokovic, senior food editor at Bon Appétit and co-owner of Hani’s Bakery in New York City. Shilpa is a Chennai-born CIA grad who worked in fine dining restaurants before transitioning to the test kitchen. She and her husband, Miro, own and operate Hani’s, a bakery in the East Village with nostalgic and seasonal treats. Shilpa joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her first bake (a Victoria sponge cake), the magic of Chennai tea stalls, Bon Appétit’s Bake Club, and why Hani’s location means so much to her. Then, the duo dive into her Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats With Brown Butter (with two secret ingredients!) and the story behind Hani’s pistachio halvah version.
