Ideas For New Year's Eve, Our One-Minute Cooking Tip, How To Visit Julia Child's Summer Home, Parsnips, Roasted Duck & More!

New Year's Eve is on its way. Do you have a party planned? Even if you don't, we've got great ideas to make your celebration bright this year.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks and developed over 12,000 original recipes in our joint career. We'd love you to check out one of our favorite cookbooks: THE ULTIMATE COOKBOOK. (Bruce claims it fully represents the way he thinks about food. With 900 recipes, it should!)

In this episode, we're talking about ideas for New Year's Eve. We've got a one-minute cooking tip to keep nonstick spray from being a mess.

Then Bruce interviews Makenna Held, who bought Julia Child's summer home in France and turned it into a cooking school. And we'll let you know what's making us happy in food this week.
