Dan Pashman
Dan Pashman is an American podcast host. He grew in New Jersey in what he describes as a "food obsessed" Jewish family[1] and graduated from Tufts University in 1999,[2] after which he worked in news radio. After being laid off six times over eight years, he decided to start his own podcast to give himself professional independence,[1] and launched The Sporkful in 2010.[3] He toured the podcast in 2019 across the United States.[4]
In 2014, Pashman published the book Eat More Better: How to Make Every Bite More Delicious.[5] The book is written as if it were the textbook of the fictional Sporkful University, with the chapters titled after the names of typical college subjects.[6] The following year, he presented You're Eating It Wrong on the Cooking Channel.[7] In 2024, Pashman published the book Anything's Pastable: 81 Inventive Pasta Recipes for Saucy People.[8][9]
From 2018 to 2021, Pashman, in collaboration with the New York pasta company Sfoglini, worked on a new pasta shape that would hold sauce more efficiently. The resulting shape was named cascatelli, from cascata, the Italian word for waterfall.[10][11][12][13][14] Pashman is a three time James Beard Award winner.[15] He has won the Webby Award two times.[16] He and his wife have two daughters.[3]
