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 soon.)
This week's chat will be all about food and cooking for the spring holidays Easter and Passover. Join Kim O'Donnel in a discussion about your old favorites — and things you want to try.
The chat takes place right here on Thursday, April 21, at 10 a.m. PT, 1 p.m. ET.
Bring your questions, suggestions, and links. Of course, Kim, a trained chef and cookbook author, will be on hand to give general food and cooking advice too, so bring your non-holiday how-to questions as well.
Sign up below to receive an email reminder of the chat.
See you on Thursday!
