This Week's Episode
Hosted by Lynne Rossetto Kasper
Andrea's Turnip Soup - Andrea Reusing's Key 3, Claudia Kolker on monthly rice, Elaine Sciolino on peas, Sandor Katz on kombucha.
Mario Batali brought me back to New York recently to appear on his new show, The Chew. No one hosts like Batali; he rolls out the carpet and hands you over to the audience. He is generosity personified.
It was Meatless Monday, so Mario and I prepared Moroccan Red Lentil Soup from How To Eat Weekends.
It wasn't an Italian dish, as Mario noted. "No," I said, "because if I made an Italian dish, you and I would be arguing through the next 5 minutes."
Audience members took home a copy of the book.
