108: Cooking the United Nations

This week on Milk Street Radio, we talk to blogger and writer Sasha
Martin, who cooks through the alphabet starting with Afghanistan.
“The first day we meet, the next day we are brothers,” Sasha says.
“And this idea that when we sit down to the food and we put away
our silverware and we’re eating with our hands and we’re having
this communal meal something changes and indeed we sat around the
table for a really long time that night and it was just a wonderful
experience.” Christopher Kimball discusses Milk Street’s cookbook
roundup for the year with editorial director J.M. Hirsch. We also
learn how to transform an affordable cut of beef into a succulent
holiday roast, and wine writer Stephen Meuse discusses the best
wines for the season. Finally, we take your calls with Sarah
Moulton.
