All Cakes Considered: A Year’s Worth of Weekly Recipes Tested, Tasted, and Approved by the Staff of NPR's All Things Considered
1 recommendation
"Yes, as you can probably tell from the cover image and title, this is the baking book that grew out of NPR's All Things Considered. The writing style is no-nonsense, witty, and fun to read on its own, which is to say nothing of cake recipes that outdo themselves -- I'm anxious to try out the "Naughty Senator," a marbled peppermint and chocolate rum cake. It's truly exhaustive, and even leaves cake..."

the NPR map
2 recommendations
"I just think it is weird that CB2 is selling this map. You would usually need to make a pledge to get it. Decorative, useful, and as necessary to keep in your car as your road atlas and insurance information - especially if you haven't managed to clear out that Pop Tart your niece crammed into your CD player - if you are an NPR fan that is."
This American Life
1 recommendation
"The Chicago Public Radio show This American Life is available as a weekly free podcast. Or if you're craving more, you can download shows from iTunes. I find that the format is perfect for listening to on the way to work. Each episode is just about an hour long and is composed of three stories which are in some way linked. While the program does suffer for a tad of the preciousness that is..."
WNYC Radio Lab
1 recommendation
"Radio Lab is a radio show (and free podcast) that offers an hour-long exploration of scientific issues. That probably sounds boring. It isn't. Radio Lab is a wild-eyed experiment that combines the best aspects of Scientific American, This American Life, and, um, Car Talk. Always smart, always funny."

The Language of Baklava

""I don't think anybody has ever made food sound more delicious," Reichl says of writer Nigel Slater.

"There are few writers who can make us want to pack our bags and jump on a plane just so we can lunch in Paris. Liebling is one of those writers. A contemporary of Hemingway, Liebling makes us wish for a time-machine to go along with our plane ticket. This book should be on every foodies bookshelf."
