Video Interview with Jennifer McLagan

In August I was honored to be among the presenters at the Epicurean Classic in St. Joseph, MI. Although the weather was wet, it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. While there, Laurie Buckle, editor of  Fine Cooking, asked me to be their ”man with a mike.” I was only happy to oblige. The interview I was most looking forward to was with Jennifer McLagen, author of the multi-award-winning cookbook Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes. It’s no secret that I love full-fat, full-flavor, full-time cooking. And if her book is the bible then I’m an lard-smeared acolyte. In our chat, Jennifer gives a primer as to why animal fat is a good thing and something our bodies need for healthy living.
