“I love traveling.
I love experiencing the world with my family.
This basically takes that part of it off of the table for me and makes it super easy.”
EatingWell:What’s on your summer travel agenda?
Ferguson:Justin and I are celebrating our 10-year anniversary.
We’re going back to New York City, which is the city we were married in.
We’re going to Mykonos with some friends afterward, so we get a little bit of both worlds.
EatingWell:What’s the most memorable meal you’ve had while traveling?
Some of my favorite meals have been in Italy at a little shack we found on the Amalfi Coast.
I truly love stumbling upon places.
I also love talking to the locals and getting their opinions about where one should go.
This is another way that I like to immerse myself in a local cuisinelearning how to do it myself.
Ferguson:I usually order out!
There’s always something to pull together, though.
[We think he’d love ourOne-Pot Chicken Pesto Pasta with Asparagus!]
Now, because my days are more full with parenting duties, I have learned that is not sustainable.
I love making a simple tomato salad with crushed fennel, Aleppo pepper and olive oil.
That is so delicious, and it takes literally four minutes to pull together.
Do you have a favorite walking shoe that you wear while traveling?
Ferguson:My husband has been wearingFeiyues.
Our trainer was using them to train in, so he asked him, “What are those?
They look really cute and European.”
They’re actually really great shoes for walking around in.
I’m kind of in theHokafamily.
Everyone is wearing those now.
I have both, by the way.
[Laughs]
EatingWell:Your schedule is so action-packed.
What’s your favorite snack to grab when you’re in need of an energy boost?
Ferguson:Hummus and carrots, which aren’t great to eat in the car.
It’s usually a protein bar if I need something to eat in the car.
There’s thisyogurtthat I really love to eat that’s in a ceramic container.
They’re a little more expensive, but they’re really delicious.
I was like, “They’remyyogurt.”
EatingWell:We’re so jazzed to hear that you’re launching a podcast!
Can you tell us more about the conceptand who has been your favorite celebrity to interview so far?
These are all people that I already know and have been friendly with.
There’s no proof of concept.
It requires more than getting on a Zoom and having a conversation in the comfort of their own home.
We’re actually having a meal together and that’s where the conversation happens.
We really initiate the full gamut.
It’s really been a profound experience so far.
EatingWell:OK, if dinner’s onmethis time, what are you ordering and where are we going?
There are six pinwheels in the order, and you might take some home.
