Food Sustainability, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, An Interview With Leni Sorensen, Rice Crackers, Laksa Curry & More!

We've got a legend on today's show. Leni Sorensen. We first met here when she was a culinary historian of African-American culture at Jefferson's Monticello. Now, she teaches sustainability farming and cooking in rural Virginia.

We're delighted she came on COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK. In addition, we've got a segment on the hard problems of food sustainability in a mass-produced world. We give you a one-minute cooking tip about potholders. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks with several New York publishers, including our best-selling INSTANT POT BIBLE and FREEZER TO INSTANT POT: THE COOKBOOK.
