Oh the joy of baking, not the book, but the prolonged cooking of food by dry heat acting by convection (according to Wikipedia). The roles of bakers and pastry chefs have been blurred over the years, so on today’s THE FOOD SEEN, we have Shuna Lydon, the pastry chef at Peels, and Jeremy Shapiro, bread baker extraordinaire, to help us redefine the roles of bakers and chew over the current state of baked goods and grains. p.s. read both Shuna’s and Jeremy’s blogs for wonderfully inspiring writing and recipes! This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch-the nations largest single source supplier of grassfed and grass-finished beef.

This week on We Dig Plants Alice and Carmen tackle the drama of the tulip bulb. Take a look back as far as Greek mythology for a glance at the role tulips have played in the human experience (including reputed healing powers). Find out why you have to plan ahead to plant them, and learn why they can be such a cash crop in Holland and yet so simultaneously unreliable. This episode was sponsored by Acme Smoked Fish: a mainstay in the NYC culinary market for over 55 years.
