This week on the Well-Seasoned Librarian Podcast: March 7- March 11. Writers Tamar Haspel (To Boldly Grow) and Judy Alter (The Blue Plate Cafe Mysteries/Gourmet on a Hot Plate) are my guests!
Welcome to the newsletter for the Well-Seasoned Librarian Podcast. This week we have a great lineup of authors who I really enjoyed getting a chance to talk to. We have a great mix of guests who run from a Washington Post Columist writing about providing for her families food to an Mystery writer who is also adept at cooking on a hot plate!
Below is a list of this week’s guests.
Tamar Haspel (Unearthed column/To Boldly Grow) The Well Seasoned Librarian Season 6 Episode 1 (With guest host April Chan of CHNorcal)
Tamar Haspel writes the James Beard Award-winning Washington Post column Unearthed, which tackles food from every angle: agriculture, nutrition, obesity, the food environment, DIY. She’s also written for Discover, Vox, Slate, Fortune, Eater, and Edible Cape Cod.
When she’s tired of the heavy lifting of journalism, she gets dirty. She and her husband, Kevin Flaherty, grow their own tomatoes, catch their own fish, hunt their own venison, and raise their own chickens. If she tells you a wild mushroom is OK to eat, you can believe her.
Tamar’s book about her families return to self sufficiency is out this week from Penguin Random House.
Guest Host April Chan appears on this episode courtesy of our sponsor “Culrinary Historians of NorCal.”
This episode is scheduled to air on Monday 03/07/22

Judy Alter : (The Blue Plate Cafe Mysteries/Gourmet on a Hot Plate) The Well Seasoned Librarian Podcast: Season 6 Episode 2
Bio: " Life—or at least my writing career—has come full circle. My first ever published book was fiction based on a real-life memoir. My newest books are nonfiction with touches of fiction in occasional dialogue and scene—faction they sometimes call it. But there have been lots of digressions between those titles, more than forty-plus years apart."
