Foraging for Wild Mushrooms in LA; Bagel History; Winter Soups

This week, we’ll go foraging for wild mushrooms in the heart of Los Angeles and learn about a new cultivated mushroom operation that produces gorgeous fungi. We cook with a convection oven, dish up deliciously simple soups and find out about a community supported preserves and bakery. Plus, we take a look at how the bagel became a huge crossover hit, do justice to the lowly chicken breast and get a fresh Market Report with Laura Avery.
