We’ve had a hearty week of food news and fun here at WBUR. Here & Now kicked if off with a tour of resident chef Kathy Gunst’s farm in Maine. In true Gunst fashion, there’s some yummy extras, including seriously delicious recipes like this one for a summer pea and lettuce soup.
Radio Boston took on chickens– urban chickens, to be precise. I visited Khrysti Smyth (AKA The Chicken Lady) in Somerville earlier in the day and was greeted by 14 of her lovely “girls” (and one little guy named Thor). The on-air segment was robust and full of great information. The comment thread provided a bit more controversy with some listeners complaining that chickens should stay away from city backyards and go back where they belong– the farm. Your thoughts?
On Friday, Radio Boston visits Chef Jasper White at the Summer Shack in Cambridge, scoring a cooking lesson along the way. The loot? White’s secret to making his trademark clam catapala.
