Cooking with Bruce and Mark

We're up for anything food and cooking. And this is our podcast to explore that passion--including Girl Scout cookies! Thanks for coming along on our journey. Here are the segments for this episode...

Everybody seems to love cooking shows and now cooking videos. We've been in the food business for twenty-five years and have seen the major changes in these videos firsthand. Shows have moved from instruction to almost shorthand entertainment on TikTok. We've made them all, appearing on PBS shows and even The View, then creating instructional videos for craftsy, and now creating lots of videos on...

Plum chutney! It's a favorite in our house. We hope we can make it a favorite in yours, too. We're making it from scratch in this episode of our podcast. We've got a one-minute cooking tip.

And we know why. We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written three dozen cookbooks including THE INSTANT POT BIBLE and THE INSTANT POT BIBLE: COPYCAT RECIPES .

Who doesn't love the burn? In this episode, we're talking all about hot sauces, spicy condiments, and chili sauces. A listened asked us to explain hot sauces, particularly Sriracha (which we love!). So we've blown that idea out to include lots of hot sauces including peri peri sauce (or piri piri sauce) and even a fermented chili sauce from the Middle East that has become a staple in our kitchen....

What's authentic? How do you label that authenticity, particularly when it comes to recipes from cultures other than your own? These questions have become increasingly pressing in the twenty-five years we've been writing cookbooks. How can we identify a recipe popular in Thailand without referring to the ethnicity of the recipe? Especially when we two writers don't live in Thailand or have any con...

It's grilling time in our part of the world. And we've got a great, easy recipe, particularly if you can find cross-cut beef short ribs (sometimes called "flanken"). We get ours at a big-box store.

Beef chow fun! Is there better take-out? (Or take-away?) It's always been one of our favorites. But we live in rural New England . . . so we have to make our own. We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We've written three dozen cookbooks and been contributing editors and/or columnists at a host of magazines (back in the day).

Let's talk about the grocery store! Not about what's there or how to find the best that's there.

Who doesn't love pizza? With better crusts, even gluten-free crusts, and a bigger range of toppings than years past, pizza has become almost a food category in and of itself.

We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We're the team behind dozens of cookbooks, tens of thousands of published original recipes, and a long career in the food publishing business.

Perhaps just a decade ago, the dominant theory was that food likes and dislikes were learned. But genetic research is changing the game, proving that what you like and dislike may actually be part of your DNA. We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, authors of three dozen cookbooks and more than 20,000 original recipes. This is our food and cooking podcast, part of our passion for all things...

Vegetable pancakes? What an easy lunch, snack, or even dinner! Mark's been cooking much more vegan fare lately, so this recipe is one that he's now made countless times: a richly stocked vegetable pancake, sort of based on Korean vegetable pancakes (yachaejeon or 야채전), but packed with more vegetables and able to withstand many substitutions, based on the types of vegetables you like. No roots,...
