On this episode of The Food Seen, listen to Michael “cook art history”, as Maite Gomez-Rejón of ArtBites.net, takes THE FOOD SEEN on a tour through The MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art), to discuss America’s first “foodie”, Thomas Jefferson. During his time as minister to France, he learned to love French cuisine, brought it’s customs back to the US, introducing many staple ingredients, as well as bringing American crops back to Europe. After our time in the museum, we headed back to the kitchen to recreate “A Jeffersonian Feast”! This episode was sponsored by Tekserve & The Lower East Side Ecology Center's "E-Waste Events".

This week on The Farm Report Erin and Heather talk to Sabrina Wilensky of Corbin Hill Farms. Sabrina explains the difference between Community Shareholder Farms and CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). It turns out CSFs may be equally if not more important to growing the good food movement, as they don't entail some of the deal-breaking features found in CSAs (like steep initial membership fees). Tune in to hear yet another great idea to improve our food system! This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods Market.

This week on Beer Sessions, Jimmy and Ray explore the oft-overlooked item that is absolutely necessary for yeast to create alcohol: malt. Jay Steinhauer of American Beer Distributing and Benjamin Stutz of Brooklyn Homebrew talk about base yeast, specialty yeast, and making beer, plus Sam Barbieri of Waterfront Ale House talks about his career in the bar (and ice cream) biz. Christan and Andrea of Valley Malts discuss their exceedingly rare project to create their own, local version of a Malt House. Finally the guys discuss aged beers, barley wine, and this years pumpkin shortage (yes, there was a pumpkin shortage). This episode was sponsored by Great Brewers.com: a favorite source for beer information and education and one of the internet's most popular beer destinations.
