About Airline Food, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview With Author Jorge Gavaria, Chestnuts, Parsnips & More!

Why is the food so bad on airlines? What's happened over the years?

Join us, veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, with more than three dozen cookbooks to our names, as we share out thoughts on airline food.

We have a one-minute cooking tip about making better meatloaf. Then Bruce interviews with Jorge Gavaria, author of MASA and the maker of some of the best masa we've ever tasted. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.

Here are the segments for this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE AND MARK:

[01:04] Our thoughts about getting better food on an airplane. We realize there's very little food service, except on long-haul flights. But there are ways to get better food when you fly, even if you buy it before you board.

[12:35] Our one-minute cooking tip: A stand mixer makes the best meatballs or meatloaf!

[14:04] Bruce interviews Jorge Gavaria, the owner of Masienda and author of MASA.

[37:10] What’s making us happy in food this week? Fresh chestnuts and air-fried parsnips!

Join us, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, for weekly episodes all about food, cooking, recipes, and maybe a little marital strife on air.
