    Monica's Pies

    Naples, NY is famous for its grape pies, made from tangy concord grapes. I adore them! So when I visited in autumn, I talked to the region's biggest seller: Monica Schenk, owner of Monica's Pies. Monica shares how she went from stay-at-home mom selling pies at an unmanned roadside stand to national baking sensation. These days Monica's Pies is open year round selling some 60,000 pies each year, but she's as down-to-earth as ever.  The story of Monica's Pies Lynnette Hoffman Meet Monica, owner of Monica's Pies in Naples, New York.

    Beyond the Garbage Plate

    My hometown of Rochester, NY is most famous for inventing The Garbage Plate, a calorie packed, meat-heavy monstrosity that gets all the culinary glory (and publicity)! I finally tried it when I visited this autumn, so I'll give you my unbiased verdict. But Rochester has much more to offer food lovers., and if you want a taste of the city's culinary diversity, the Rochester Public Market is the perfect place to start. In this episode we'll take a mini tour. You'll meet Mark, the spicy pickle meister (and take a quick look at the health claims around pickle juice), talk purple cauliflower, apple personality types and much more. Founded in 1905, the market is the place to go for eclectic buskers, quirky politicians and super fresh produce. Listen to the end to hear the occupational hazards of being an arachnophobic podcaster in Australia.

    Perfect Nigerian Jollof

    Meet Cassandra, winner of the 2017 JollofWars event in Sydney. Jollof rice is a quintessential West African dish, and Cassandra has perfected the Nigerian version--super spicey and bright red in colour. And delicious, of course. Growing up in Nigeria she'd cook a giant pot for her brothers and uncles-- but it was quite the endeavor since power outages are so frequent there. She has lots of tips if you're keen to create this dish yourself. And she laughs a ton:) Cassandra's Perfect Nigerian Jollof Rice Lynnette Hoffman Music in this episode was recorded at JollofWars and is by Malin Sylla of Afro Nomad. The Africultures Festival is coming on 10 March in Lidcombe (western Sydney)-- I've never been but it sounds awesome! Cassandra (left) and Tope (right) from Nigeria cooked the winning jollof at the 2017 JollofWars held in Auburn.

    The Happy Baker: Eddie from Belmore Lebanese Bakery

    Eddie Zanbaka, owner of Belmore Lebanese Bakery, on the art and science of baking, growing up catholic in Lebanon, adjusting to life Down Under, the investment that changed his career and finding happiness in simplicity. Belmore Lebanese Bakery specialises in made-to-order flatbreads and fatayars that Eddie has perfected from years of experience--with some help from a master Lebanese baker. Special thanks to James Mcgowan of jamesmcgowanaudio.com for his help on this episode-- I had significant problems with the recording quality on this and thought it was going to be completely unusable, but he worked his magic and made the episode 1000 times better. Eddie Zanbaka prepping one of his famous oregano rolls, with a marinated lamb flatbread in the foreground. Freshly baked, flakey and perfectly browned, and stuffed with a blend of halloumi and feta--not pictured is the perfect flat white that I drank with it. I recommend both! Too hungry to worry about pretty pictures. Eddie from Belmore Lebanese Bakery Lynnette Hoffman  Subscribe to Beyond the Table on Itunes, Stitcher  or wherever you listen to podcasts.
