We all have our likes and dislikes, even our loves and hates, when it comes to what we eat. We want to share ours with you!

You might be surprised what two long-time cookbook authors can't stand . . . and what they love.

We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, authors of three dozen cookbooks. This is our podcast about our passion for food.

Here are the segments for this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK:

[00:35] Our one-minute cooking tip: Use a spatula (not tongs) to turn chicken in a skillet.

[03:25] The foods we love AND hate

[24:15] What’s making us happy in food this week? Cantonese fried turnip cake and passata.

We develop recipes for a living: over three dozen cookbooks, countless magazine and internet articles, and 20,000+ copywritten and published recipes. Here's a look inside what we do on an almost daily basis.

Let's face it: Most recipes are developed in an existing frame--a braise, a cake, a short crust, a roast, a pastry cream. You accept the frame, then begin to work inside it to create something new.

In this episode, we're going to take on the hypothetical of developing a trifle, a layered cake-and-custard dessert. We've also got a one-minute cooking tip. And we'll tell you what's making us happy in food this week.

Here are the segments for this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK:

[01:04] Our one-minute cooking tip: buy great butter for toast but supermarket butter for baking.

[03:21] How we develop a recipe. We're making up our own trifle, showing you the thought process and creativity it takes to create a new recipe.

[23:45] What’s making us happy in food this week? Ben & Jerry’s dairy-free Cherry Garcia and a kale salad with a nutritional yeast vinaigrette.

What's up with eggs? What's happened to the supermarket?

Bruce is on his own for this episode, since Mark is still recovering from his broken leg.
