#1 – Meet Andrea

A bonus interview between my co-host Andrea and someone who has greatly inspired her lately – Instagram’s @wildquetzal

Today we got to sit down again with Meredith Leigh, a butcher and author of The Ethical Meat Handbook, and ask her a lot of questions about Confit, Rilette and Terrines. Meredith has a course on these three items – including headcheese, by the way – a course which Alison and I both took, and made use of in our own kitchens, and we loved the tasty results so much we wanted to ask Meredith more and get her on the air so you could hear her talk about these incredible versatile and thrifty preparation and preservation methods of storing meat, fat and scraps that honestly would often otherwise end up in the trash.

Think grains are unhealthy? Have problems digesting them? Listen in as Alison and Andrea explore how our ancestors prepared and ate grains and how you can take their wisdom into your modern-day kitchen.

Chocolate has a secret life. And learning about it will change your view of this food forever! Join us as we interview Marcos Patchett, author of the 700-page The Secret Life of Chocolate, about the ancestral, medicinal, cultural, psychological and mythological secrets of the cacao bean.
