Hey there, listeners, future callers, and cooking enthusiasts.

Welcome to Dinner S.O.S. The show where we help you save dinner or whatever you're cooking.

I'm Chris Morocco, Food Director of Bonapetit and Epicurious.

Today's caller, Rachel, doesn't typically follow recipes. I see them for

inspiration all the time and I love reading recipes. It's like an activity I like to do and I like watching cooking videos, but then I just I can't seem to measure things.

So I definitely intuitive cook,

which is how my mom cooked, which is how I learned to cook.

So I just go to the store, see what looks good,

what produce looks fresh, what's on sale, and then whip it together with random

sauces. Which, to be clear, is totally fine, at least most of the time.

So it's hard for me when I'm cooking for a picky crowd

or have a lot of considerations to keep in mind.

So my boyfriend and I have been together for about two years and our

parents have yet to meet but they're getting scoochy. So I'm having a little

meet and greet dinner party at my apartment in a couple of weeks and the

dietary restrictions and preferences are actually insane and I'm really not sure what to do and still like keep integrity in terms of serving a dish

that feels like it came out of Rachel's kitchen. You said something that I my brain is preventing me from moving past I think you said I think you said something I think you said something like they're getting scoochy. Yes, they're getting scoochy like they're getting antsy.

They're getting scooge.
