Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough have written dozens of cookbooks. Bruce is the chef; Mark, the writer. Which means Mark doesn't cook all that much anymore. At two cookbooks a year, it's hard to get in the kitchen.

In this episode, Mark uses Bruce's mixer to try his hand at some delicious coconut curd bars: crispy but tender coconut shortbread curst, topped with a creamy rich coconut curd and crunchy toasted coconut. 

Can Mark get it right? Can he do it without too much complaining because of Bruce's intently cheffy eye on him?

NOTE: The contest for an OXO blender that is mentioned in this episode is now over. Sorry about that. We've had a winner and completed all entries.
