This week, Amy and Heidi's adventures in the kitchen feature cooking with lye, pickling lime, Hawaiian taro and some other semi-hazardous ingredients that, since the beginning of cooking time, have been used to turn humble raw ingredients into unforgettable delicacies.
Guests include 87-year-old lutefisk extraordinaire Wally Everson, Top Chef and Iron Chef alum Lee Anne Wong, and chef Megan Handke, who will be dropping some recipes and techniques that are dangerously delicious. And an 9-year-old calls explains her recipe for acorn pancakes.
