    Mother’s Day; Foie Gras Wars; 40-Pound Cabbage; Goat Soup

    Think you should be able to cook like a chef at home? It may not be your cooking skills that need work. Some things that chefs take for granted but don't exist in your home.  Foie Gras is fatty goose liver. The practice of getting that liver fat drives animal-rights advocates wild. Why foie gras was banned in Chicago two years ago and what impact it had.  Mother's Day is tomorrow. Now is a good time to forgive her.  How food icon Ruth Reichl did that and found herself in the process.  Jonathan Gold is here and is so is Entourage actress and Italian food lover Debi Mazar.
