    If I see it again, I will have to unsubscribe. Weekly is too much. It’s bad etiquette to crowd my library with pushed content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Dog-Eat-Dog World of Ballpark Vendors
Q: Is there a way to say that there is a cuisine, or is it just like many places, it just depends where you come from or what part of the Philippines you're talking about?
Angela Dimayuga says Filipino cuisine encompasses distinct regional food traditions across thousands of islands, while shared ingredients and historical influences also shape a broader culinary identity.
The Dog-Eat-Dog World of Ballpark Vendors
Q: For Planet Money, you went to Fenway Park to talk to the vendors, but before that, you were a vendor yourself at Fenway Park. So tell me what that was like.
Nick Fountain recalls that the job was lucrative and fun for a teenager, but physically demanding and full of showmanship. He describes carrying heavy food, running through the stands and interacting with fans.
Ask Yotam Ottolenghi
Q: I've been trying to cook chicken livers over the years, and I just can't seem to get them to the point where they taste as good as I remember them tasting. I'm not sure exactly when they're finished cooking, and I don't know the best method.
Ottolenghi recommends drying the livers and searing them in a very hot pan until caramelized, then cooking onions and combining them with the livers and a little wine or stock.
Ask Yotam Ottolenghi
Q: I have reached the ripe old age of 60 years old without ever having prepared or cooked a leek. Could you give me a little Leeks 101?
Ottolenghi recommends washing and slowly cooking leeks until soft and creamy, and shares recipes for lemony leek pasta and baked leeks with cream, citrus zest and hazelnuts.
Welcome to The Hong Kong Diner!: Extended Cut
Q: What is the art of making Hong Kong-style milk tea?
Sin describes brewing tea leaves for a long time and repeatedly pouring the tea through a silk stocking to aerate it, then adding high-fat evaporated milk and often sugar to balance the tea's strong, bitter flavor.
