    I Need A Delicious Christmas Morning

    Brad has a vision of a Christmas morning with kids opening presents and adults sipping coffee and enjoying a delicious panettone, the Italian holiday sweet bread. But as he's learned over 3 years of fallen loaves, panettone is not an easy product to bake. So Chris calls on Roy Shvartzapel, who's dedicated the better part of the last 20 years to learning about and producing the loaves, to help Brad improve his process and embrace the wild panettone journey. The recipe Brad used for his panettone comes from the cookbook A Good Bake.

But vanilla's not all they offer! Mark shares surprising health benefits of spices, and spills the tea on how Watkins keeps their huge variety of spices bursting with flavor - including a tip to properly storing your spices at home. Mark even reveals the one spice that mysteriously eludes Watkins (and why), and shares exactly what to look for when you're on the hunt for the perfect spices.

    What Are the Rules for Pork?

    Jen is a confident cook in a household of self-described food people.

Chris calls on Inés Anguiano, Certified Pork Stan (tm), to help Jen embrace pork's versatility... and the fact that the only rule with pork cookery is "there are no rules." Recipes featured:   Soy-Basted Pork Chops with Herbs and Jalapenos Crispy Pork Cutlets with Kimchi Slaw Citrus-Braised Pork with Crispy Shallots And the bonus "middle lane" pork recipes: Mustardy Cider-Braised Pork Chops Sweet-and-Saucy Pork Chops Pork Shoulder Steaks with Grilled Mustard Greens
