Norene's Kitchencast

Although I have some smattering of knowledge about how bees are raised, it was interesting to note more detail. Where to start...that you can actually purchase hives, that different types of honey are derived from different flowers or that there is actually something called avocado honey. Of course as a sometimes ‘zoftig’ guy, honey cake has always interested me. How sweet? how moist? the other background flavours? Slivered almonds. The fact that you can still do your day job and raise bees at the same time was new to me. I always thought it was a full time job. All in all, the podcast kept me awake, although, I was hoping it would overcome my insomnia and lull me back to sleep. I listened to another podcast, not sure which episode as I was bleary-eyed, deep into the depths of “almost-sleep”. Originally from Montreal and of a certain age, I remembered the origins of ‘Second-helpings’ and the excitement amongst the young women about its being newly published. I’m looking forward for Norene’s next podcast.

I loved listening to you reminisce about the very beginnings. Inspiring as I embark on my own journey. When’s the next one?? Can’t wait to listen!

I got my cookbook as a bridal shower gift in 1970. I learned how to cook with 2nd Helpings It’s always been my “go to” cookbook. Love what you’ve always represented Norene and the wonderful funny person you continue to be Have learned so much from you over the years Thank you

My mom has all Norene’s books!!
