For the first time in three hundred episodes, we're turning the tables on Andrew and sitting him in the hot seat, a.k.a. the guest's chair, to take you inside his new book The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food. Fellow writer and author Chandra Ram, of Food & Wine, takes the helm to ask Andrew all about the book: where the idea came from, what the research entailed, how difficult it was traveling and interviewing during the recent pandemic, and what the key takeaways from the book are. We've also layered in excerpts from the audio book, read by chef MIchael Lomonaco, to bring some sections Chandra and Andrew discuss to vivid life.To order The Dish, please visit HarperCollin's book page, from which you can navigate to your favorite online bookseller.

Over a coffee in community arts space The Place in Newport, south Wales, The Food Programme presenters Sheila Dillon, Leyla Kazim and Dan Saladino choose two books each from the year: one that has made them cook, and one that has made them think. Sheila also meets George Harris, creative director of Tin Shed Theatre Company, to hear why food has become part of their work, and leaf through a very special cookbook that has been passed down through George's family.Wondering what the next generation makes of food books, Sheila visits a group of young food activists from the organisation Bite Back 2030, to debate one of the top food books of this year - Henry Dimbleby's Ravenous. Meeting at Bite Back HQ, in north London, they also discuss whether TikTok spells the end of an era for recipe books and share their own recommended reads.Dropping in on cookbook buyer at Topping books in Bath, Kathleen Smith, we find out what's been selling this year and how trends vary according to region. Plus, scattered throughout, we hear the personal book recommendations from best-selling food writers and chefs including Rukmini Iyer, Poppy O'Toole and other familiar faces, picking their own favourite new releases from 2023.Presented by Sheila Dillon and produced by Nina Pullman for BBC Audio in Bristol.

New York City listeners will no doubt recognize Michael Cecchi-Azzolina's face, if not his name. For several decades now, he's run the dining rooms of some of the most popular, acclaimed, and influential restaurants in Manhattan, including Raoul's and Le Coucou. Michael's first book, Your Table is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D', which debuted just last week, is a no-holds-barred account of life in the front-of-house trenches, with all the vivid, sometimes lurid detail you'd expect. Andrew and MIchael sat down recently to discuss the book, its themes, and tangential issues such as guest etiquette (or lack thereof) and the most effective way to convey customer feedback.Andrew Talks to Chefs is a fully independent podcast and no longer affiliated with our former host network; please visit and bookmark our official website for all show updates, blog posts, personal and virtual appearances, and related news.

Sheila Dillon and guests come together at Cherry Tree Library in Blackburn to discuss this year's best food books. From recipes and biographies, to food history and policy - there are choices for everyone to put on their Christmas lists, or.. check out from the library! Cherry Tree in Blackburn like most libraries has a wealth of food books to delve into, but unlike most libraries it also has its own honey producing beehives. Local comedian and author Tez Ilyas pops in to see what books he might like to help on his next venture of learning how to cook. While Jamie Oliver, Asma Khan, Tim Spector and many others who have featured during this year's programmes tell us what have been their food books of the year. If you would like to recommend a food or drink book - join the conversation on social media. We are @BBCFoodProg on Instagram and Twitter. And a copy of all the books mentioned has been donated to the library in Cherry Tree. Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan

Book NotesAdam and Michael recommend: Food: A Love Story by Jim GaffiganMichael also recommends: Matty Matheson: Home Style Cookery by Matty Matheson Victuals: An Appalachian Journey, With Recipes by Ronni Lundy The World Atlas of Coffee by James Hoffmann Adam also recommends: The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O'Neill The Drunken Botanistby Amy Stewart With the Fire on Highby Elizabeth Acevedo Carrie recommends: Eat Joy, edited by Natalie Eve Garrett An Everlasting Mealby Tamar Adler Be My Guest : Reflections on Food, Community, and the Meaning of Generosityby Priya Basil Jacques Pépin Quick + Simple : Simply Wonderful Meals with Surprisingly Little Effortby Jacques Pépin As Always, Julia : The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto : Food, Friendship, and the Making of a Masterpiece Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Childby Bob Spitz Bite Notes Jim Gaffigan would approve of The Famous Original Genuinely Not Ray's Sandwich Extravaganza, which is also the perfect sandwich to eat while driving. Another pairing for Jim Gaffigan's Food is the L. A. Dirty Dog. The recipe can be found in Roy Choi's L. A. Son.  According to Claire Messud, one of the writers contributing to Eat Joy, Mrs. Hemmings's Chocolate Brownies have helped her "through exams, loneliness, even despair." They are just the thing for a cold pandemic night.

For our money, there's no better writer in the food realm today than John Birdsall. In his new book The Man Who Ate Too Much, a biography of James Beard that commingles the icon's life story with a history of both America's relationship with food and queer life in the United States. John spent five years researching and writing the book, producing a brilliant and moving work. We invited John on the pod to discuss the life of this little understood figure, John's writing process, and topics related to John's work and Beard's life.Please consider supporting Andrew Talks to Chefs via our Patreon page–pledge $10 or more per month and gain access to bonus, patron-only episodes, blog posts, polls, and more. Andrew Talks to Chefs is a fully independent podcast and no longer affiliated with our former host network; please visit and bookmark our official website for all show updates, blog posts, personal and virtual appearances, and related information.

Who would have thought the relationship between Simon and Aaron Turner from restaurant Igni could've sparked the start of Somekind Press? Simon certainly didn't believe it, but once the ball got rolling, Somekind quickly turned into a powerhouse of 96 paged food books that are sharing the stories of people all around Australia.  Simon sits down with me and chats over the phone about his early interest in food books as a teenager and what it was like working for publishing giants Hardie Grant and Quadrille. He chats about his time working on Josh Nilands 'The Whole Fish Cookbook' and Peter Gilmores 'From The Earth', both highly regarded cook books in the hospitality industry.  Since starting Somekind Press in March 2020, which has published books for the likes of Ben Devlin and Yen Trinh (Pipit Restaurant), Lee Tran Lam and Boon Luck Farm, it has raised over $150,000 which has been put back into the community to the restaurants and illustrators involved in the books.  A super commendable effort from a small community funded publisher and Simon Davis is here to tell an interesting story from a different perspective in and around hospitality. I would like to note that Roots Podcast is proudly supported by the Australian Good Food Guide. A hospitality guide that started in 1977 and still continues to rate and support restaurants ever since. Music by Charlie Fester. Follow @roots_hospitality on Instagram for the latest info and guest soundbite.

Eco-Friendly Holidays (0:00:00) The holidays may be the most wonderful time of the year, but they are also the most wasteful. Think about it – with every inch of wrapping paper ripped off of presents, every cute homemade decoration that won't last till next year, and all of the cardboard packaging surrounding your kids' new favorite toys. And don't get me started on how much of a workout it is trying to stuff all that waste into your tiny trash can… A shocking statistic has revealed that Americans generate almost 1,000 pounds of trash per household during the holiday season. But much of what is thrown away during the holidays can be recycled or re-purposed. Jeremy Walters, sustainability ambassador at Republic Services, is on the show to give us recycling tips. Toddler Communication (0:14:43) Can you imagine what life would be like if you weren't able to express yourself to the people around you? If your thoughts and needs had to stay inside you because you didn't know enough words to express them? There's a surprisingly large amount of people that live everyday like this, and it might not be who you think. It's our children, especially our toddlers. How can we teach them to speak more effectively? Dr. Ruben J. Rucoba, a pediatrician, joins us to teach us what we can do to help our children learn to communicate better. Office Holiday Party Etiquette (0:34:42) With the many holiday parties to attend this season, how are you feeling about your work party? I find that people either can't wait or can't find enough excuses to get out of going. Despite your place on the excitement scale, there are some definite do's and don'ts of work party etiquette, and expert Jodi Smith is here to share them all. Understanding Fertility Challenges (0:50:36) Infertility affects approximately 12% of women and 11% of men aged 15 to 44 in the United States, and out of the women that are affected by infertility, more than half of the issues are unexplained. With so much unanswered, those struggling to get pregnant can easily feel overwhelmed and confused. Dr. Jennifer Mercier, a women's health and reproductive wellness provider, joins us to share what we need to know about fertility as well as how to face infertility issues. Mini Book Club: Food Books (1:04:39) Rachel Wadham, host of Worlds Awaiting, joins us to share some of the best food books. Preparing for Tax Season During the Holidays (1:23:19) It's the holidays and the last thing on everyone's mind is tax season. It may seem stressful to think about filing your taxes now, but January is not too far away. Being on top of your taxes can really benefit you in the long run. Here to tell us what we can do to prepare for tax season now is Heather Watts. Heather is Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital at H&R Block. 

Jeremy Walters shares how to be more eco-friendly during the holidays, Dr. Rueben Rucoba talks about how toddlers communicate, Jodi Smith tells us how to navigate holiday work parties, Jennifer Mercier helps us understand our friends and families struggling with fertility, Rachel Wadham shares the best food books, Heather Watts tells us about the benefits of preparing for tax season now.

A fun episode for both professional cooks and chefs, and "civilian" food geeks alike: Christine Muhlke, co-curator and writer of the new Phaidon book Signature Dishes That Matter, joins Andrew to kick around the notion of signature dishes, how she and her collaborators made their selections, and even some dishes that didn't make the cut. Joining them is acclaimed pastry chef Michael Laiskonis, currently of Recolte, and a food scholar in his own right.The conversation ranges from the 1600s to 2018, from street food to haute cuisine, from nouvelle to New American, and touches on chefs ranging from Claudia Fleming to Wolfgang Puck, Paul Bocuse to David Chang, Alice Waters to Dan Barber.Special thanks to Benno restaurant for hosting this conversation.Visit the official Andrew Talks to Chefs website to explore past episodes, join our mailing list, leave a voicemail or comment, and keep up with Andrew's blog.Here's a thought: If you like what you hear, please tell your chef-fascinated friends, subscribe to Andrew Talks to Chefs (it's free) on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher, follow us on your favorite social media platforms @ChefPodcast, and/or rate or review us on Apple's Podcast store.

She and guest host Jordana Rothman, Food & Wine magazine’s restaurant editor at large, talk identity, failure, and the power of memory. Iliana shares the reasons she closed her second restaurant, Kitsune, and explains how her newest venture, the Milkweed Inn B&B in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, is an exit strategy of sorts. And we do a speed round with Cherry Bombe staffer Audrey Payne. Find out what Audrey would never eat and why MasterChef Australia is a national obsession.

Paris à Table, circa 1846 Presented by Joe Weintraub, PhD Paris à Table: 1846 is the first English translation of an essential text in the literature of gastronomy. Written by the journalist and critic, Eugène Briffault, the book takes readers from the opulence of a meal at the Rothschilds' through every social stratum down to the student on the Left Bank and the laborer eating on the streets. The author surveys the restaurants of the previous generation and his own--from the most elegant to the lowest dive--along with the eating habits of the bourgeoisie, the importance and variety of banquets, and even the plight of "people who do not dine," offering the reader, according to Le Monde, “the richest view of Balzac’s time seen from the table.” Its editor and translator, Joe Weintraub, is a writer, playwright, poet, and translator based in Chicago. He holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Chicago and is a member of the Dramatists Guild. “An eye-opening chronicle . . . . The book is filled with observations that still apply, like how the newly affluent display money but no taste, how female cooks are undervalued, how off-season vegetables please the eye but not the palate.”--New York Times “Briffault . . . describes not only what Parisians of varying social classes ate but also the circumstances and artifices that made dinner appealing. This is a must-read for social- and cultural-history buffs, especially those with a keen interest in food and eating habits.”--Booklist “Briffault has (very funny) strong opinions about how his countrymen dine, especially those who take part in the “impudent custom” of déjeuner dînatoire, now known as brunch.”—Buzzography Chosen by BookRiot as a “2018 Best of Food Books” selection and by Bon Appétit as one of 2018’s “Best of Noncookbooks Food Books.” Recorded on Saturday, May 11, 2019 at Bethany Retirement Community. https://culinaryhistorians.org/paris-a-table-circa-1846/

Welcome back! It’s Season Three of our podcast book group: Reading with Libraries! We hope you have enjoyed all of our short Book Bites, and now we are looking forward to settling in to read more books with you! This week we are discussing cooking and food books. Check out our full shownotes page here, with beverage recipes and links to the books we share. In our book group we have fun talking about books, and provide useful information for library people doing Reader’s Advisory work. There are so many books out there that it’s tough to be an expert on all of them. So we pick a new genre each week to chat about and hopefully provide you with some insight into what may be an unfamiliar genre! Who is joining us this week? We are pleased to welcome Guest Host Connie Laing, from the Great River Library System. There are so many great cookbooks out there! This is a great time to be interested in food, and in food-related books. Of course, every celebrity has a cookbook – and some of them are even good! And there are lots of cookbooks by people who have really studied their food area, and spent a lot of time working to bring up books that not only give good information about the food you can prepare, but also look good. And there are also all kinds of other food books that are about food, preparing food, cooking food, and improving the way food gets from its starting point to our tables. So this week we are going to talk about a variety of books you may want to check out that will help you hone your cooking skills, help you to feel more confident in the kitchen, or just make you happy as you eat store-bought snacks while reading. No shame at all! Enjoying food is our goal, and as always want you to enjoy the books you are reading too.

Maya Wilson, is a cookbook author and food columnist living in Alaska. She is the author of the blog, and recently released cookbook, Alaska From Scratch. Maya and her family transplanted from California to Alaska. They sold almost everything they had and, with two suitcases per person, flew to our new home on Alaska’s gorgeous Kenai Peninsula. Starting over from scratch has been the adventure of a lifetime – life looks drastically different than it did before, in wonderful and exciting ways. Conveniences like grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops are farther away and more costly in Alaska. Because of this, Maya has the privilege of spending a whole lot more time in her kitchen cooking and baking for her family. From scratch. Eat Your Words is powered by Simplecast

Described as "a practical and proactive response to the blatant gender and racial discrimination that plagues the food industry," EATT is inspired by the aphorism that it’s better to “build a longer table, not a higher fence.” We're also joined in studio by Klancy Miller, author of "Cooking Solo" and EATT advisory board member. Listen in as they talk about how EATT aims to change the game, what's on their reading lists as they feed the resistance, and much more.

2:28: Paula Gallagher, Baltimore County librarian (and Sean’s wife), recommends a good book, “Truffle Boy: My Unexpected Journey Through the Exotic Food Underground,” by Ian Purkayastha, who comes to Towson next Sunday (April 9) for an appearance with Gertrude’s chef Doug Wetzel as part of the month-long BC Reads program.10:26: Are your documents safe in the cloud? Last week, a security researcher discovered a serious problem with Docs.com, Microsoft’s free document-sharing site tied to the company’s Office 365 service: Its homepage had a search bar. Not a big deal, except that hundreds of users of Office 2016 and Office 365 apparently were unaware that their documents could be shared publicly. Sean Gallagher, Baltimore-based IT editor of Ars Technica, nosed around and found a significant number of documents shared with sensitive information in them—some of them obtainable by just entering “passwords” or “SSN." Also on the show: What Congress and President Donald J. Trump are planning to do with our web surfing data. They’re going to make it easier for Internet providers to sell customer browser histories to advertisers and other companies.Links:https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/ian-purkayastha/truffle-boy/9781478909903/https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8----text=Ian Purkayastha----search-alias=books----field-author=Ian Purkayastha----sort=relevancerankhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/dan-rodricks-blog/bal-doug-wetzel-survives-life-threatening-heat-stroke-and-he-still-makes-a-pretty-good-donut-20151204-story.htmlhttp://www.bcpl.info/bcreadshttps://docs.com/en-ushttps://arstechnica.com/security/2017/03/doxed-by-microsofts-docs-com-users-unwittingly-shared-sensitive-docs-publicly/https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/for-sale-your-private-browsing-history/

We'll talk about how to reconcile the worlds of political reportage and lifestyle blogging, literary inspirations and community radio, and you can hear us drink spritzes on air. We might even read Jack Gilbert live. Two decades in the photography industry left Julian Richards with an acute understanding of all things trivial, priming him perfectly for a four year stint in the food industry with Table on Ten.

He stands now in his Speedo, contemplating the greasy springboard into senility; but there’s a reverse pike somersault or two in him yet.
