Bonus Weekend Podcast: Holiday Roasting, Baking, and Cookie Making!

The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 24, 2016

As many of you are preparing your holiday meals this weekend, we wanted to inspire some great cooking ideas for our Bonus Weekend Podcast. Last week, award-winning chef and cookbook author Dorie Greenspan talked about baking Christmas cookies, and her new book of over 300 cookie recipes. If baking intimidates you a little, we’ve got you covered. In 2013 we spoke with Shirley Corriher, author of BakeWise and Chef Scott McMillan, a pastry art Instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education, for our Please Explain: Baking! And to make sure your main course doesn’t go astray, we’ve included our interview with Michael Ruhlman from 2014 about perfecting the art of roasting. Enjoy!
