Hi, this is Rosie, the director of education at Milk Street.

Viola Buitoni and Marika Contaldo Seguso know everyone, everywhere in Italy.

If you want to visit a tiny Parmesan producer working with a breed of cows almost extinct,

Viola's friends with him.

Have you heard about Venice's most famous and glamorous cookie baker on the colorful island of Burano?

Marika is welcomed into Carmelina's jewel-like shop like family. Marika and Viola have spent their lives cultivating these relationships,

and now they're willing to share them with you on our new culinary travel trips. With Marika,

we visit seven islands in the Venetian lagoon to meet farmers, winemakers, bakers, and fishermen.

And with Viola, we meet her friends and cook all together in Campania and Emilio Romagna.

There is exactly one spot left on each of the three trips this fall.

Join us. Head to www.177Milkstreet.com slash tours to see the full itineraries.

Hi, this is Christopher Kimball.

Thanks for listening to Milk Street Radio.

You can go to our website, 175Milkstreet.com, to get our recipes, to stream our television show, or to get our latest cookbooks.

Here's this week's show.

This is Most Street Radio from PRX. I'm your host, Christopher Kimball.

Chef Shola Olinjolo thinks of food and cooking just like jazz. Jazz musicians built on the foundations of the musicians

that came before them in order to create something new. Olignolo has done the very same thing

to create his own food research lab where he makes Japanese malted milk bread, pumpkin seed preline,

and Chinese steamed turnip cake.

You know, creativity has to have emotion as opposed to doing something that needs to be explained to be understood.

That's what lacks in a lot of food today.
