  Quinoa—the supergrain of the Incas, Chef Jill Houk Explains

  Our favorite chef, Jill Houk of Centered Chef Food Studios returns to the program to discuss quinoa—the supergrain of the Incas. In addition to being rich in fiber and folate, quinoa is a vegan complete protein, which is essential for anyone reducing or eliminating meat from their diets. We’ve got five quinoa recipes that cover the gamut from breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Yum!

  Also, we'll get the latest happenings with the kids over at the Cooking Up Change project in Chicago (hint...think national).

  Interview with Miami Book Fair Int'l Co-Founder, Mitchell Kaplan

  MBFI Co-Founder, Mitchell Kaplan & Lissette Mendez (Coordinator of the Comix Gallaxy Event) will join me on tonight's program to give you a sneak peak of the upcoming Miami Book Fair International event.

  .

  The mission of Miami Book Fair International is to promote reading, encourage writing, and heighten an awareness of literacy and the literary arts in our multi-ethnic community.

  .

  First called Books by the Bay in 1984, the two-day street fair has evolved into the largest and finest book fair in America. Attendance grew steadily and, by the late 1990s, hundreds of thousands of book lovers were eagerly participating in the annual literary festival.

  .

  Today, Miami Book Fair International is a full-scale international event that includes a Sunday-to-Sunday schedule of stellar programs, readings and special activities.

  .

  The centerpiece of the Book Fair is the highly impressive Festival of Authors. Previous year’s guests have included prize winning authors, recipients of the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, Casa de las Americas Prize, Pushcart Prize, O’Henry Award, National Magazine Award, Commonwealth Prize, MacArthur Fellowship, and Edgar Award. Along with many American voices, there will be international voices from Argentina, South Africa, France, Cuba, Guatemala, England, Mexico, Hong Kong, Spain, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Bosnia, Trinidad, Russia, Taiwan, Haiti, Finland, Canada, and the Philippines.

  Eat My City! Culinary Destinations: Chicago

  We will be exploring culinary destinations each month. So, get your appetites and traveling shoes ready! First stop - Chicago, IL.

  Starting things off is Teresa Johnson of GottiTravel sharing tips for the best locations & rates in town!

  Then my special guest, Matt Nielsen, COO and third-generation co-owner of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla, the finest extract producers in the country. Since 1907, the family owned company – now in its third generation – has been making flavorings in the purest, most natural way in a Chicago suburb.

  Craig, Matt and Beth Nielsen are following in the footsteps of their father and grandfather by using a proprietary, cold extraction process that gently extracts the complex flavor components (more than 300!) from the vanilla beans and then preserves them in jewel-like bottles to be sold for flavoring dishes from delicate pastries to sauces for lobster.

  Cookbook author, Gale Gand, host of the Food Network “Sweet Dreams” and executive Pastry chef/partner at Tru Restaurant, says, “When I need to know anything about vanilla, I run to the Nielsen family.”

  Craig, Matt and Beth take pride in the Pure Vanillas products they produce, as well as their discriminating customers who appreciate the quality, flavor and varied functionality. The United States consumption of vanilla beans is approximately 1,400 tons per year.

  A favorite of kings and queens, the Nielsen’s can share with your listeners the romance behind the bean.

  Grilled Pizzas & Piadinas Cookbook Author, Craig Priebe will join us to discuss his career as a chef for the Crowne family in Chicago and we'll be giving away a copy of his book! You don't want to miss it!
