There have been some wild food scandals--in the past and recently. We've got the low-down on them.

Even though we haven't been involved in any! We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen titles, including THE ULTIMATE COOKBOOK with over 900 recipes which still represents the way we cook at home.

Join us for this episode in which we talk about some recent scandals in the food world, offer a one-minute cooking tip about reducing wine, talk about our favorite frosting (buttercream!) and let you in on what's making us happy in food this week.

Here are the segments of this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE AND MARK:

[00:52] Some recent food "scandals" that caused quite a bit of churn in the world.

[12:02] Our one-minute cooking tip: Reduce wine to concentrate its flavors BEFORE you add it to a stew, soup, or braise.

[13:33] A buttercream primer. We'll let you in on the three types of buttercream (yep, three) and give you the skinny (hardly!) on the frosting that makes a cake, well, a cake.

[21:32] What’s making us happy in food this week? Kosher Chinese food and flavorful spiced chili oil!
