Country Cooking, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview With Maria Provenzano, Swedish Gin, Cantonese Dumplings & More!

Living in the country is great. Except when it comes to sourcing ingredients. How do you do it when the nearest big supermarket is an hour away.

We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written over three dozen cookbooks, including one of our latest: THE INSTANT AIR FRYER BIBLE.

But we live deep in the New England countryside. Rural, to say the least. A great large supermarket is up to an hour away. And on frozen roads.

In this episode, we talk about what it's like to live in a rural area and still eat well, despite being in a food desert. We also have a one-minute cooking tip about kitchen timers. Bruce interviews about author Maria Provenzano about her book EVERYDAY CELEBRATIONS FROM SCRATCH. 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:
