Food For Thought

I am fortunate enough to have a job where I can listen to music all day. It’s pretty great. However, sometimes I need a little bit more than music to keep me going and soon found myself addicted to podcasts. They are wonderful. You don’t need an ipod or money, so no excuses please. Among my favorite podcasts there are several that focus on food, which happens to be one of my favorite things in life.
These shows are so interesting and span a wide array of food topics that go beyond simply cooking. My favorites start with KCRW’s Good Food. It’s based in LA, so you get some tips on where to eat as well as other fascinating bits of food information. The other food shows I like are Eat Feed, AMP: The Splendid Table, and NPR: Hidden Kitchen. Eat Feed and The Splendid Table both have great websites to accompany their radio shows.
I just thought I would share these exciting food finds with my fellow “supper club” friends. Enjoy!
