I love American Public Media’s The Splendid Table nationwide radio show which, sadly, is not available on the air in my native San Francisco. (What’s up with that? Thank you, Internet!) Host Lynne Rossetto Kasper is just the sweetest lady on the planet, and they have very cool stories from every corner of the foodisphere – from chicken gizzard candy to Padma Lakshmi.
I’ve had the pleasure of being on the show four times – my most recent call-in is from the end of August, 2013, where I talk about all kinds of ketchup, and why it rocks to make your own (my recipe here). In addition:
- I talk about miso pickles, keeping a nuka bucket, and other aspects of Japanese pickling. (2013)
- I share some thoughts on bacon making and other easy home-cured charcuterie. (2009)
- I walk readers through my recipe for Chocolate Fudge Pops and other frozen treats for grown-ups. (2009)
I enjoyed listening to you on Splendid table! I browsed through your Cookbook, Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It, and it looks great. I was hoping to see in that cookbook, but didn’t, the recipe for plum ketchup that you mentioned on the radio. Is that recipe available somewhere? It sounded so amazing!
Hi Nettie! Thanks for your kind words. The plum ketchup recipe is available in my second cookbook, Can It, Bottle It, Smoke It. I just made some recently as the plums are coming to the tail end of the season here…Happy canning!
