Hosts Steve Garner and Chef John Ash talk with Washington State horticulturalist Bruce Barritt about the Cosmic Crisp apple, which Bruce spent 20 years and 10 million dollars developing with his team at Washington State University. Steve and John tried the apple on air with Bruce in January 2020. During the tasting Bruce mentioned that the apple was developed to remain fresh for 10 months...We've kept our sample 'Cosmics' refrigerated and now we've reached the 5 month point, and it's time to retaste!
As a kid Chef John Ash grew up grilling trout with his grandparents. In this next segment he introduces us to the techniques of both grilling and barbecuing: from grilled fresh spring fava beans(really!), cider-brined pork tenderloin, to grilled fruits with ginger custard sauce. His summer menu will have you primed to get outside and start the weekend! Click here to view the recipes.
June 9 is National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day! To celebrate we invited New England writer/chanteuse and doctorate in American studies 'Tinky' Weisblat to the show. Her new book is 'Love, Laughter, and Rhubarb' ...filled with witty historical essays... this wildly enthusiastic book (she named her cat Rhubarb!) features over 60 delicious recipes.
Hosts Steve Garner and Chef John Ash talk with Percy Brandon, GM for Vintners Resort about the protocols and challenges of reopening one of the most highly acclaimed resort/restaurant properties in California.
Steve and John also chat with Kathleen Stewart, one of the founders of the award winning Downtown Bakery in Healdsburg, California about how she's been able to stay the course during these difficult times.
Finally, John and Steve journey to the Outer Hebridean island of South Uist off the Scottish mainland for an audio postcard from Fiona Bird, the delightful author of 'Seaweed in the Kitchen.' Fiona is a avid forager and she recorded a family conversation with insightful comments on how cooking and foraging has brought them together during these unstable times.
Hosts Steve Garner and Gwen Kilchherr take your gardening questions, covering topics that include battling English Ivy, disease ridden tomatoes, techniques for thinning corn, and whether horticultural vinegar is necessary (hint, regular vinegar works just fine).
