On the radio: Table Talk chat about Pickles & Tomatoes
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 8:52PM 
Some of you know I was on the radio this morning. I had a wonderful time chatting with Jamie Peha of Peha Promotions, and her co-host, well-known restauranteur "Chef in the Hat" Thierry Rautureau about all things pickled.
Included on the show that day, to talk about TomatoFare2011, were Roy Breiman, Culinary Director of the much-acclaimed Copperleaf Restaurant & Bar, which is located within the gorgeous 18 acre Cedarbrook Lodge, and Mark Bodinet, the Executive Chef of CopperLeaf Restaurant & Bar.
We learned a lot from each other, laughed a lot (sometimes at each other) and I think you might enjoy listening to it too.
Here's the audio portion from today's Table Talk radio show.

Right after the radio show, we had another fun conversation in the hallway about a jar of home-made fermented "sour" pickles Jamie brought with her this morning. The conversation was caught on Jamie's iPhone.
In this short video, Jamie Peha interviews (cross-examines?) me about whether or not her first batch of home-made pickles, made from her family's 50-year-old recipe, are safe to eat!

*No vinegar is used in the fermentation process.
