Nothing beats fried chicken. But the mess, the oil, the calories!.

Join us, Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, as we get you started air-frying chicken with two delicious recipes.

We're veteran cookbook authors, with over three dozen titles to our names, including THE INSTANT AIR FRYER BIBLE (a book written for all models of air fryers made by Instant Brands, which you can find here) and THE LOOK AND COOK AIR FRYER BIBLE (with over 700 photos, each step of each recipe, which you can find here).

Our two recipes in this episode are: a classic buttermilk fried chicken and crunchy boneless skinless chicken thighs coated in a mixture of ground pork rinds and panko bread crumbs.

Join in the fun as we air-frying North America's favorite protein: chicken. 

Air fryers are the new Instant Pots. Air fryers may well be the appliance of the year, if not of the decade. Crunch with almost no oil. You can't beat that. And you can recharge leftovers in a snap.

Join us, Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, as we talk about one of our favorite appliances: the air fryer. We've written several cooks on air-frying, including THE ESSENTIAL AIR FRYER BIBLE (with hundreds of recipes, which you can find here) and THE LOOK AND COOK AIR FRYER BIBLE (with hundreds of photos, one for each step, which you can find here).

We'll get you started with an air fryer: how to choose the right model, how to work it as a beginner, and how to get the most out of this countertop appliance.

We've always got an air fryer on the counter. Join us for a discussion of how to get started with this amazing machine.

Peanut Butter is a favorite food in the U. S. And for good reason! It's delicious, nutritious, and actually a versatile culinary ingredient.

Join us, veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, as we talk about peanut butter: how it's made, how it can be used in baking--and even savory dishes like slaws and stews.

We love peanut butter. We've been known to eat it off a spoon for a snack. Plus, we wrote a whole book on the stuff a while ago: THE ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER BOOK. We were even on The View for that book!

Join in the fun and let's talk peanut butter!

We're passionate about marshmallows. They're sweet, sticky, and (believe it or not) useful in lots of recipes.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. We want to destroy the myths about marshmallows. (No, they're not made with egg whites.) We also want to tell you how to make the best homemade marshmallows, as well as what you can do with marshmallows when baking sweets (besides just eating them).

Plus, we promise tons of laughs along the way. It's about marshmallows. How can it be serious? 

In the old days, martinis were made with gin and stirred, not shaken. Then along came James Bond. What a jerk.

Join us, Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, as we explain when it's appropriate to stir a drink and when it's right to shake it. Most cocktails should be stirred. So up your game and make the best.

We've written over three dozen cookbooks including THE ULTIMATE PARTY DRINK BOOK (which you can find here). We're passionate about cocktails. We want you to know how to make the best you can!
