This week on Hot Grease Nicole speaks to Dena Wruble, who with co-author Tracy Rapp wrote "Simply Southern with a Dash of Kosher Soul", a cookbook that combines the down-home comfort food of the south (Tennessee, to be precise) with the rules and regulations of the Chosen People to create recipes that are deliciously Kosher. Agatha Achindu also calls in to discuss Yummy Spoonfulls, her made-to-order baby food company that just may be the most delicious food your tiny bundle of joy has ever eaten.

Hot Grease - Episode 44 - Farming Concrete

First Aired - 08/23/2010 03:30PM

This week on Hot Grease Nicole hosts Mara Gittleman to discuss her organization Farming Concrete. While community gardens are a much-touted solution to environmental, food, and animal welfare issues, there is a surprising dearth of information about the amount of green gardens in NYC. Farming Concrete aims to gather all possible info about the city's gardens to help sustain current gardens and start new ones as efficiently as possible. This episode was sponsored by Acme Smoked Fish: a culinary mainstay in NYC for over 55 years.
