Hi there! We're Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, authors of almost three dozen cookbooks (plus more for celebrities)--and this is our food and cooking podcast.

We're so glad you joined us. In this episode, we're talking about our personal culinary journeys: How did we get to be cookbook authors? We've got a great one-minute cooking tip about softening butter the, um, whacking way--as well as an interview with Aleksandra Crapanzano, author of GATEAU: THE SURPRISING SIMPLICITY OF FRENCH CAKES. And of course, our traditional last segment: What's making us happy in food this week?
