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

As much as I have come to know about the food scene, Louisa Kasdon knows far more! As a food writer and broadcaster on WBUR and The Boston Globe and the creator of the cookbook celebration known as the Readable Feast, Kasdon has covered events and talked to people that I still dream about.

That is why it was no surprise to me to learn that her latest delicious venture – the fun food podcast “Let’s Talk About Food” (www.letstalkaboutfood.com) – has become a weekly podcast on the Heritage Radio Network.

Drawing on decades of her own experience and a full 10 years worth of first-person stories from foodie friends, Kasdon’s show demonstrates the power of food to elicit memories and to bring people together  (and couldn’t we all use a bit more of that these days?).

While many of Kasdon’s culinary interlocutors are well-known writers and chefs, she wisely realizes that everyone has food-related stories to tell and so invited listeners of all sorts to suggest and offer their own stories to enrich and enliven the radio stew.

As if that weren’t enough, Kasdon and her colleague and friend Annie Copps will be presenting the fifth annual Readable Feast New England Cookbook Awards (which also include other kinds of food-related writing) December 9 at 5 PM. Voting is open and information is available at www.thereadablefeast.com. It is sure to be a fun and inspiring event, especially for newly-minted home cooks who have taken up the spoon to keep Covid madness at bay.
