Sharing Recipes, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview with Blue-Ribbon Queen Linda Skeens, Meatballs, Grape Jelly & More!

There are recipes online everywhere these days! But many of those were developed by food writers and cookbook authors--and may even be copywritten. Let's dig into the facts.

We should know! We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks, including one of our latest, THE LOOK & COOK AIR FRYER BIBLE.

After our thoughts on the ethics of sharing recipes online, we offer a one-minute cooking tip to make a lot of savory dishes better. Then Bruce interviews blue-ribbon queen and viral sensation Linda Skeens. And we talk about what's making us happy in food this week.

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

[01:16] Why we share recipes--and the ethics of sharing copywritten recipes.

[13:49] Our one-minute cooking tip: Don’t be afraid of anchovies!

[15:36] Bruce interviews blue-ribbon queen and viral sensation Linda Skeens, winner of more state-fair blue ribbons than anyone else.

[24: 53] What’s making us happy in food this week? Meatballs in puttanesca sauce and grape jelly!
