The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:

With all the tumult in the world, many of us have turned to our favorite foods for comfort. Unfortunately, some of us are so politicized and polarized that we even fight over food. 

Keto or Atkins. 

Gluten-free or low-sugar.

It can all be too much, especially these days!

Fortunately, former Ohio Senator-turned food TV and radio star Capri Cafaro has come up with a way to bring people back to and around the table. It is a new cookbook called United We Eatthat was inspired and even co-written by some of her colleagues in Federal and state government! In it, Cafaro and her colleagues offer some of their favorite recipes- one representing each state and even the District of Columbia!

In addition to gubernatorial grub like New Mexico’s Susana Martinez’s working woman’s posoleand Wyoming’s Mark Gordon’s sourdough bread (an especially popular pick during these challenging times), the book also features national committee cookings like Michael Steele’s Smith Island cake and Donna Brazile’s authentic Louisiana gumbo and even presidential candidate favorites like Senator Amy Klobuchar’s Taconic tater tot hotdish and Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s Hoosier pie. Woith all these diverse and delicious recipes, the book truly has flavors from across the country and the aisle, making it easy for any one to find favorites regardless of their political or other affiliations.

While we are all still stuck at home for so long, the least we can do is make it easier to come together. This book is sure to help!
