This week, we're talking about food traditions--not cultural, necessarily, although they might be a part of our discussion. Instead, those from your childhood. Ours, too, of course. Why are these food traditions so important to us? Why do they leave such an imprint on us? Is it just nostalgia? Or more?

Join us, veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written over three dozen cookbooks including one of our favorites THE KITCHEN SHORTCUT BIBLE.

After we talk about childhood food traditions, we've got a a one-minute cooking tip for making perfect ramen eggs. Bruce interviews celebrity chef Kwoklyn Wan on his book ONE WOK ONE POT. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
