Any product that can make my face do that is one worth trying. The new Tondo fruit-flavored balsamic vinegars are to die for — gorgeous flavors of lemon, citrus, pomegranate and fig. Join me for a taste with artisan purveyor Alessandro Calveri.

And…you can buy them in the Gilded Fork Boutique! (https://shop.gildedfork.com)

Take a tour with me through James Beard’s former home in NYC. Suffice it to say that anyone with a mirrored ceiling in the bedroom is a hero in my book.

Come fly with me to the Mile High City of Denver — from the kitchen of the James Beard House in NYC — where a veritable gaggle of chefs prepared a memorable meal for us featuring the tastes of their home city.

The Gems of Denver dinner featured Jennifer Jasinski of Rioja and Bistro Vendome, Matt Anderson of Bistro Vendome, Alex Seidel of Fruition, John Broening and Yasmin Lozada-Hissom of Duo, and Max Mackissock of Vita.

A web rendition does no justice to this captivating beauty, but as I have watched her come to life from her first strokes of color, I simply had to share her with you.

Look at the musculature, the expression on her face — unencumbered and pure. The way the light glows over her breasts and abdomen is nothing short of glorious.

I lust for this painting, but my purse will not be able to afford it for a long time. Giclees are available, however, so for now I will aspire to owning one of those.

Michael has also published a time-lapse video of the painting’s evolution, so do indulge yourself. He paints from his studio in Brooklyn, and I will be sure to post an announcement of his next show.

Thank you, Michael, for these moments of beauty that take my breath away.

Food & Philosophy…the Book. Yes, there is one, and editor Dave Monroe is here to chat with me about all that entails — including my essay on food and sensuality (shocker).

A former chef, Dave has taken his passion for food to the academic world, encouraging his students to see how philosophy affects every part of their lives. Did I mention he’s also a really gregarious, wonderful guy? Yeah.

You can find the book Food and Philosophy: Eat, Think and Be Merry at Amazon.com.

Reggie Jackson (Mr. October himself) joins me for a tasting of Original SoupMan (TM) soups. If you are familiar with the Seinfeld “Soup Episode”, you might know that the crafter of these soups, Al Yeganeh, is the inspiration behind “No soup for you!” — and these soups are some of the best I’ve ever tasted.

I’m a lifelong Yankees fan, so this was a special treat. Be sure to watch all the way to the end, because he lets me hold…The Ring!!

Is there anything more American than beer and baseball? No, this isn’t about a day at the ballpark. It is, however, about the magic of carbonation, and what that means for the senses (this is good stuff, people).

You’ll also hear a clip of my interview with baseball legend Reggie “Mr. October” Jackson, who is dabbling in soup these days along with Al Yegenah, the inspiration for the Seinfeld “Soup” episode.

My year got off to a chaotic start, which has led to some big changes in my life, one being a focus on heart-healthy meals. Catch up with me as I share the past few weeks of turbulence, including a melted windowsill. Whoops.

I also have some listener mail about vegetable-esque encyclopedic tomes. How appropos.
