This week: a lively discussion about the wildest doughnut flavors in the country, as well as our picks for the best cakey, glazed, and jelly-filled doughnuts in Connecticut and New York. We explore the trend of the “new” happy hours—both with and without alcohol—and Carla Bartolucci, the author of the cookbook Einkorn, is our special guest. If you cook for someone with a gluten sensitivity, you won’t want to miss what Carla and her husband are doing with this ancient grain. Plus, we make pizza, quick bread, and more, all with delicious, nutty einkorn.
