Julia Child and Ukranian dishes? What do they have in common? This podcast episode!

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks, including a funny take-down of the most popular culinary myths, LOBSTERS SCREAM WHEN YOU COOK THEM.

We're celebrating Julia Child on her 110th birthday. Her career allowed ours to happen. Not that we ever met her. Or were even in the same room with her. But she began the industry of trying to increase the creds of U. S. cooking, something that has led to the likes of us.

We've also got a one-minute cooking tip about ripening bananas. Then Bruce interviews Anna Voloshyna, the author of the Ukranian cookbook BUDMO. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
