    Best of Good Food: Five-Second Rule; Padma Lakshmi; Canning

    This week, we serve up some of Evan Kleiman’s favorite leftovers. We’ll revisit bold flavors with Padma Lakshmi, learn about the history of the toothpick and test the 5-second rule. We’ll also hear from a man who spent a year living biblically, literally. Plus, we get into canning.

    This week, we serve up some of Evan Kleiman’s favorite leftovers. We’ll revisit bold flavors with Padma Lakshmi, Amy Sedaris surprises us with her wacky, delightfully look at entertaining and Harold McGee tests the five-second rule. Science journalist Gary Taubes defends the high fat diet, A.J. Jacobs lives a year biblically, literally; and Henry Petroski pays homage to the toothpick. Plus, Rachael Sheridan is all about canning and Laura Avery has a fresh Market Report.
