(article, Kim O'Donnel)
p(blue).(Editor's note: This chat is over, but the transcript is available to read here. And join Kim for another Table Talk chat, most Thursdays.)
Kim O'Donnel has been busy as a honey bee touring on the East Coast, promoting her new book, The Meat Lover's Meatless Cookbook. But she's going to make time for a Table Talk chat this week — at a new, one-time-only hour: Thursday, October 7, at 9 a.m. PT, noon ET.
[%image reference-image float=right width=300]Bring your harvest-preserving questions, your meatless eating questions, your questions about back-to-school food or food safety. And not only questions: bring your suggestions and observations, too. Sign up below to receive an email reminder of the chat.
Kim, a trained chef and longtime food journalist, brings ideas, tips, and recipes to her live chats — right here at Table Talk, most Thursdays.
