I
n Granny's Kitchen is an on-going series of taped conversations that take place at Granny's kitchen table, in the house where I grew up. Listen to our kitchen talk focused on family traditions, rituals, and how the quality of food has changed since Granny was a girl growing up in the Depression era.
Learn what Granny did to keep the close connection to her family, friends, and neighbors and how her traditional views on food shaped my own philosophy on health and well-being. She'll even share her savory recipes and cooking tips from over 50 years as a seasoned home-cook.
Last week, I had an invigorating conversation about lifestyle, old world cooking, and health with Editor Ryan Sloane of DineAndCook.com – listen to our chat about traditional cooking practices and the emotional side of eating, as well as the making of the book.
Listen in to my chat with Chris & Lisa of Skinny Scoopers about my healthy twists to create the most decadent and healthy recipes that still keep the pounds off the scale.
To celebrate the official launch of my cookbook, Secrets of a Skinny Chef, I am giving away a free autographed copy to one of my loyal readers – plus, read about an upcoming interview this week on Martha Stewart’s Whole Living.
Granny and I share our easy techniques and tips to rescue meals before they get to the dinner table. Find out how to keep sour cream from curdling and how to fix a salty soup!
