Food in the White House, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview With JM Hirsch, Toasted Coconut Marshmallows, Sparkling Malbec & More!

Have you ever wondered what's served at White House banquets. We're looking at the menus over the years!

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks including one of our favorites, THE ESSENTIAL AIR FRYER BOOK with every recipe sized for every size of machine.

In this episode, we've got a look at fancy dinners at the White House over the years. We have a one-minute cooking tip about slow cookers. Mark takes over the interviewer's chair and chats with cocktail maven JM Hirsch, author of POUR ME ANOTHER. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
