Our 2022 Holiday Gift Guide (Part One), Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview With David Joachim, Cava, Bacon Fat & More!

Got a list of gifts you need to buy for holiday presents? We've got some answers.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written and published over three dozen cookbooks, including our 900-recipe tome: THE ULTIMATE COOK BOOK (which you can find here).

We have the first part of our 2022 holiday food gift guide: a set of six websites for great gifts. We've also got a one-minute cooking tip about bacon fat. Mark interviews the fabulous David Joachim. We answer to our perennial question, "What's making us happy in food this week?"

About the Podcast

Cooking with Bruce and Mark
Fantastic recipes, culinary science, a little judgment, hysterical banter, love and laughs--you know, life.
Join us, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, for weekly episodes all about food, cooking, recipes, and maybe a little marital strife on air. After writing thirty-six cookbooks, we've got countless opinions and ideas on ingredients, recipes, the nature of the cookbook-writing business, and much more. If you've got a passion for food, we also hope to up your game once and a while and to make you laugh most of the time. Come along for the ride! There's plenty of room!
