Yours Truly on SF Radio Show

How appropriate was it that I was on a show at a radio station called KPOO? But don't worry, the topic was not dookie.

Last Thursday, I was on Julie Matthew's Reality Sandwich radio show on SF radio station KPOO with Sandor Katz and Taylor Boetticher. Sandor is the writer, herbalist, activist who wrote my fermentation recipe bible, Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods and The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Inside America's Underground Food Movements.  Taylor Boetticher is the proprietor of the fantastic east bay artisanal charcuterie, Fatted Calf. I have written about both of these guys in previous posts so it was a pleasure to have a live chat with them, and of course with Julie who is a nutrition consultant and author.

We talked about things like the high cost of low price, the difference between artisanal and mass-produced meat products, the undertaking of home fermentation as an act of civil disobedience, and how microbes do a body good.

NEWS ALERT: Fatted Calf is opening a store in Napa. (They currently don't have a physical location except for their booth at the Ferry Plaza farmers market and the Berkeley farmers market.)

CB: you are cracking me up with the KPOO comment. I am sitting here trying to imagine creative recipes for Sandor's "DIRT." How 'bout dirt latkes? Anyway, you sounded great on the radio and the show was packed full of information in a short amount of time. Keep on continuing to bring us great topics.

Carla,
My husband has been living this "healthy kind of life" for a long time, but I am just NOW, after 8 years of marriage, getting on the band wagon! I'll tell you why some other time when I can visit SF. Although Hollister's apricots (you know the slabs) are so fantastic, we buy dried fruit from "raw foods" or "Nature's Law" but I believe that the website is www.sunfood.com. Anyway that's where we get our dried foods when I run out of "Hollister Apricots". Keep up the good work. I signed up so now I will get your blogs to keep me informed. Oh Yeah, Yvonne told me she reads this all the time. Good Luck....Anita
