About Tomatoes, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, Taste-Testing Weird Foods, Bourbon, Veal Chops, & More!

Does anything spell summer more than fresh tomatoes? We doubt it, even though we live in New England where tomatoes peak for about two weeks before fall hits us and the cold begins to build.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks and developed over 12,000 original recipes in our long career. You can some of our favorites in our 900-recipe tome THE ULTIMATE COOK BOOK.

We've got a tomato primer in this episode. Then a one-minute cooking tip about canned or boxed broth that'll up your cooking game. We're taste-testing some weird new foods on the market. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.

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

[00:51] All about summer-ripe, fresh tomatoes.

[11:48] Our one-minute cooking tip: Taste various brands of canned broth.

[13:06] Taste-testing weird new foods: flavored candy corn, Neapolitan Oreos, and dream-flavored (?!?!) cola.

[23:12] What’s making us happy in food this week? Bourbon and veal chops!
