Dry January? What's up with that?

We've got some answers. We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written over three dozen cookbooks, including THE GREAT BIG PRESSURE COOKER BOOK with over 500 recipes proportioned for every size of pressure cooker on the market. (You can find it here.)

Besides talking about dry January, we have a one-minute cooking tip about a little considered kitchen staple the waffle iron. Bruce interview Nicole Niman about her book DEFENDING BEEF. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
