This week, Marissa is joined by Food Network star, host of the “Eat My Globe” podcast and food historian Simon Majumdar. Surprising things are said about British food and the perfect martini is designed. Marissa and Simon's conversation about food and history culminates in a rhapsody about fish and chips. We bake Simon’s famous almond drop biscuits and try to figure out the correct way to say “scone.” Pour yourself a cuppa and join them.

Simon Says: An interview with Simon Majumdar

At The Secret Life of Cookies we know that kitchens are the heart of the home. They’re where families come together, where food comes from and where some of the best conversations take place. Kitchens are where the power is (even nasty President Jackson with his “kitchen cabinet” thought so), and where the baked goods are, which is why Marissa Rothkopf, the host, spends so much time in the kitchen. On The Secret Life of Cookies we will bring you into those conversations with some smart, interesting people who like to cook and have something to say. Pull up a chair up at our kitchen table, and join us as we cook and discuss the important issues of today. 
 
Marissa Rothkopf is a professionally trained chef and food writer who has done everything from restaurant reviews for the New York Times to writing a column on kitchen gadgets for Newsweek. She teaches journalism at Montclair State University and gets nervous when asked to make custard.
