Emily Rose Shaw discusses berries. Personally, I'm a big berry fan, and Emily clues us in on why they are so good for us, fresh versus frozen, and ways to prepare them.

Our guest the remainder of the hour is Dr.Thimmaiah, an inspiring proponent of agricultural methods that enrich our environment and individual lives. Dr. Tim, as I like to call him, has an infectious personality that will take enthrall you, and help you understand why and how everyone must assist in making our food system healthier. As the advisor to the Bhutanese Ministry of Agriculture, and the Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority, Tim is assisting that nation in its drive to have its farming community 100% organic by 2020. He is an expert on organic, bio-dynamic, and Vedic agriculture, and advises governments in many other countries about the critical environmental and health issues surrounding the growing of food. I need to mention he's also a terrific cook. You can find his blog here.

- Great Taste - 20130515--Elissa Altman

Steve Boss — Wed, 15 May 2013 12:00:15 -0500

First up is James Beard Award-winning author Elissa Altman. Her newest book is Poor Man's Feast: A Love Story of Comfort, Desire, and the Art of Simple Cooking. I think you can understand Elissa's take on food by reading this excerpt from her website:

So, what is Poor Man’s Feast really about?
It’s about sustenance in the face of pretense.
It’s about authenticity in the face of the artificial.
It’s about simplicity in the face of the tarted-up.
It’s about kindness in the face of the rude.
It’s about storytelling — mine, my family’s, yours, your family’s — and how those stories are inextricably bound up with what we feed ourselves and those we love, what we eat at times of joy, sorrow, delight, surprise, fear, and sadness. And it’s always about slowing down a little bit.

Napoleon Gomez, the exiled leader of Mexico’s powerful mining and metalworkers union Los Mineros.

His book Collapse of Dignity is just out and it's a helluva read. One of my favorite interviews I've ever done.

You will not think about unions the same way after hearing what this man and his family has been through standing up for workers' rights and safety.
