On this episode host Kim Sherry speaks with cookbook editor and food journalist, Francis Lam. Lam is also host of "The Splendid Table" and judge on "The Great American Recipe." That's where Sherry first met Lam, when she was the very first contestant on the show to come from Alaska. We hear about his experience travelling in Alaska and talk about how culture shapes our love of food. Later in the show we hear ideas on incorporating Alaska ingredients in your next holiday meal.
