Let’s talk about French pastries and much more
Eric Bedoucha
is a French pastry chef and an entrepreneur. Born in Algeria and raised in Paris, he now runs a small fleet of exquisite pastry shops in New York city. During this hour, he shares with us much about his upbringing, his professional path and his view on French pastries. He also shares his secret “simple but not simplistic” recipe for the classic French “Quatre Quart,” which he tells me he ships from New York TO France(and from having made it last night … I really get it.)

Let’s talk about super foods, vitality and LIFE
Holistic Chef Frank Giglio [1] shares a RICH, candid and inspiring hour with us as he addresses the topics of extraordinary vitality through food preparation, various “diets,” running, following our passion, exploring and creating the life that works for us. Have a pen and paper handy for a super duper recipe, too!

Let’s talk with … one sweet “Cake Spy”
Jessie Oleson [2] is a cake spy. Seriously. That means that most of her thoughts, everyday, have to do with something buttery, something flaky and something pretty. How cool is that? Is she a baker? Hmmm… I think so. Is she an artist? Yep. Is she really a spy? Let’s figure all of this out. If CNN gets to talk with her, so do we!

Let’s talk about … feeding our community with “A Box of Good”
“As a farmer, I need to be a full-time lobbyist for common sense.”
Tristan Klesick, owner of Klesick Family Farms, joins me to talk about his “Box of Good” and the magic of providing the community with real food, grown by real people. From personal experience, I know that this is an important (and delicious) topic.

Let’s talk about … healing our bodies with live, raw food
Joe Farinaccio calls himself “The Living Food Reporter” and he joins us for this episode, ready to share stories of hope and healing, using simple, real and live food.

Let’s talk about … healthy chickens, educated consumers and happy farmers
After watching the movie “Food, Inc.”  asked Joel Salatin (he is the charismatic, hat-wearing farmer who processes his chickens in the outdoors) to come talk with me for a bit. What a great show it was! Be sure and listen to the second half too, as Joel shares detailed instructions about how to make a living a just a little bit of land (and not necessarily YOUR land!)

Let’s talk (some more) about … feeling great and getting younger
Following our earlier episode, Joan Miller came back to share with us more of her knowledge about microorganisms and the magical power of alkalizing our bodies. Lots of important info and a perfect reminder for a stuffy-nosed host!

Let’s talk about … getting younger
My wonderful friend Joan Miller shared with us some of her knowledge about healthfulness (is that a word?) and rejuvenation. As is often the case when she and I get together, I soon realized that an hour would not be enough and asked her to join us again in a few weeks. Lucky us: she said she would. I told you she was wonderful.
