We love farmers' markets. They may not be quite as hip as they once were, but they're still a great place to shop, meet people, and try new foods.

Join us, veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've published over three dozen cookbooks and been contributing editors to COOKING LIGHT and EATING WELL. If you'd like to check out some of our books, click on THE KITCHEN SHORTCUT BIBLE, THE LOOK & COOK AIR FRYER BIBLE, or THE INSTANT POT BIBLE.

In this episode, we're talking about why you should still seek out your local farmers' market. We've got a one-minute cooking tip about better vinaigrettes. Bruce interviews Leslie Wilcott-Henrie, the president of the Lexington, Massachusetts, farmers' market. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.
