Now an enticing preview of this Saturday afternoon’s scrumptious show. We’re in the Holiday spirit. It’s not, with profuse apologies, for dieters. If we’re successful we will hopefully leave you incredibly hungry and thirsty. In our case that’s probably a pretty good thing… As always, we greatly appreciate you being a part of our loyal listening audience. Truly couldn’t do it without you.

“For a new generation of cooks, comes a brand-new edition of America’s most enduring and trusted cookbook. Joy of Cooking, the timeless and essential kitchen “bible” that home cooks have relied on for nearly 90 years, has now been updated and revised by the next generation of Joy family home cooks—Irma Rombauer’s great-grandson John Becker and his wife Megan Scott. It is the first edition of Joy of Cooking to be released since the must-have kitchen manual’s bestselling 75th anniversary edition (2006), and the first to be fully revised by the Rombauer-Becker family since the cookbook’s bestselling 1975 edition, edited by Irma’s daughter Marion Rombauer Becker.” John Becker and Megan Scott take a brief respite from their ambitious book tour to chat with us.
Our own Chef Andrew Gruel of the Slapfish Restaurant Group joins us for another thought-provoking, “Ask the Chef” commentary. He’s with his Family at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
