PRK On The Air: Chef/Recipe Bonanza

Food is everywhere this week at WBUR.

On Monday, Here & Now featured a great segment with resident chef Kathy Gunst (including a turkey carving video which you shouldn’t miss). Gunst shared some fantastic recipes and helpful tips. Her husband John Rudolph (my first radio teacher, by the way) turns out to be an excellent turkey carver. Seriously, don’t miss that video.

Monday afternoon, Radio Boston went to Smolak Farms with Tremont 647’s Andy Husbands and brought back two fantastic recipes for apple sauce and spiced, candied peanuts.

Tuesday on Radio Boston, a quartet of chefs go way beyond stuffing, sharing their not-so-traditional recipes for the fall season. They include: Michael Schlow of Tico, Radius, Via Matta and Alta Strada; Joanne Chang of Flour and Myers + Chang; Andy Husbands of Tremont 647, and Jody Adams of Rialto and the newly opened Trade. Visit radioboston.org at 3pm for the recipes, tantalizing photographs and audio.

And it’s only TUESDAY! More awaits.
