In their debut on the Heritage Radio Network, Mark and Francis interview Jennifer McLagan, two-time James Beard Award winning cookbook author. Her new book is Odd Bits: How to Cook the Rest of the Animal. They discuss why offal has come in and out of vogue over the years and how snout to tail eating can and is accomplished in America and in Europe.

Steve Jenkins, the man behind Fairway Market, joins Anne Saxelby on this week's edition of Cutting The Curd. They talk about cheese idioms, etymology & the American phenomenon of cheese naming.

Patricia Michelson, owner of the famous La Fromagerie in London, and author of Cheese: The World's Best Artisan Cheeses. Patricia compares her humble beginings "in a shed" in her garden to HRN's current shed-like status, and describes the defining moment when she fell in love with cheese during a skiing trip (she literally tripped while skiing) in the French Alps. Some delicious farmstead cheese was her pick-me-up after the tumble, and the rest is history. Tune in to find out why Patricia is bothered by Europe's ignorance of America's best cheeses, and how cheese lovers from both sides of the world would be better off investigating delicious cheeses at home AND abroad.
