The splendid table supported by our friends at Sarah Nevada Brewing Company, who believe

that craft beer is a staple in today's kitchen, and they're bringing it to yours.

With a beer-infused recipe at the end of this podcast, created by Sarah Nevada Executive

Chef Jesse Massey.

Hey, it's Francis.

This week, we're going to go back to an episode from last year about getting ready for the

holidays.

Some great gift ideas await.

Check it out.

I'm Francis Lamb and this is the splendid table from APM.

This week we're all about gifting, hosting, and guesting for the holiday season.

We're hoping that we're heading into a holiday season that's still full of gifts, treats,

and maybe even other humans.

So maybe time to brush up on how to act and what to bring when we can mix it up again.

Helen Rosner is one of my favorite people in the world.

She's a staff writer for The New Yorker.

She's always writing the smartest, most thoughtful articles about food.

She also seems to know everything that's on the internet, and since that's where we do

so much of our shopping now, I thought she'd be a great person.

To talk to you about gifts we should buy for food people.

Hey Helen, it's great to talk with you.

Hi Francis, happy to be here.
