The smokey mountains, moonshine, France and local recipe inspiration. It’s connected, I promise. Guest and blogger Rachel VanDuzer, of Rachel’s Farm Table, joins us for a tasty food inspired episode. p.s. Tracy was right. Take me to another place… The song is titled Tennessee by Arrested Development. Google it for a throwback! A game of horsehoooes!

Chef Diana Penn is Berks County's very own pastry chef extraordinaire. She's got the moxie and wit of Anthony Bourdain and his skills, I'm sure. She has the talent to rival any big city pastry chef. Diana joined us to talk about pie crusts. Listen in! Fresh fruit demands you respect them this season with the perfect crust.

Listen in for another visit from Nan Reinert of Chubby Pickle Farms. She shares some tips for mid-summer edible garden growing. We'll also share some of our favorite, local farmer's markets. We always laugh lots when Nan visits.

Phoebe Canakis talks to Diana Penn about her life journey of starting out as a Economics and Computer Science major to becoming the Anthony Bourdain of the Pastry world!

One of my favorite local performers stops by to share a bit of his passion. Conlan Kerschner, inspired by his grandfather's passion for bluegrass music, has been playing since he was knee high to a grasshopper. I know (I'm certain only about a few things) you will love his performance. Conlan gives Steve Martin a run for his money!

It might be the hottest part of summer but it’s a festival not to be missed. Folks come from beyond the tristate area to experience the nation’s oldest folk festival. It’s more than quilts. Special guest Vivian Aaron (a dearest heart friend) visits to talk about her years selling her hand woven baskets at this festival (she has since retired from this festival). Get your PA Dutchy on!. My husband will also be one of the demonstrators!

Three chicks talking food, jewelry, YouTube, being the hippest Gma (that’s cool talk for grandmother), belly painting and how Lu learned to cook. All this while nibbling tasty recipes I brought for the girls. Special guest Louise Pena-Candeleria, of JoinLuLu, joined us. She’s a jewelry crafter, social media geek and YouTube personality. I like to call her Lu and I love her fun videos for an afternoon smile. (for this episode’s recipes visit phoebespurefood.com)

Do you know what’s in your beer? Especially light beer? We speak with return guest Kevin Bennett of Local Buzz Consulting. He shares local, summer beer options and we learned about beer calories and additives. We also met the “topless can.” That was weird.
