I love your PBS TV show and have purchased your cookbooks Tuesday Nights (navy blue cover) and The Milk Street Cookbook 2017 to 2020 (yellow cover). My first question does the The Milk Street Cookbook 2017 to 2020 include all the TV recipes in 2020? Please let me know. Second, if the cookbook I purchased includes all the recipes through 2020, is there another cookbook you offer that has the recipes 2021 into 2022 that doesn't include 2020 and prior? I don't want to buy a cookbook that duplicates recipes. I appreciate your reply and please know you have a fan! Holly
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Holly - Thanks for being such a fan of our show and cookbooks! The Milk Street Cookbook (yellow cover) contains all of the recipes from Season 1 to Season 3 (which ran through the spring of 2020). The Milk Street Cookbook, 5th edition, which you can find here - https://store.177milkstreet.com/collections/cookbooks/products/the-milk-street-season-5-cookbook - includes all of the recipes from Season 1 to Season 5. Unfortunately we don't have a version that just includes the recipes you are missing from seasons 4 and 5. I'm so sorry about that! Best, Lynn C.

How can I keep soda bread from going stale so fast? I want to give it as a Christmas gift but would have to make it at least on Dec 23rd.
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Elizabeth- Your best bet would be to bake, cool, wrap tightly in plastic and aluminum foil, and freeze. Thaw completely at room temperature before gifting. Best, The Milk Street Team

Is there something non-alcoholic that you would recommend to replace the Bourbon in the BÊTE NOIRE?
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Linda - the flavor of this chocolate dessert is based on the old-fashioned cocktail. Using another ingredient in place of the bourbon will alter the flavor significantly. That being said, a brewed tea might work - black or Earl Grey. Early Grey is a good pairing for dark chocolate. We would also recommend leaving out the bitters if you substitute for the bourbon and using vanilla extract instead of the bitters. Best, Lynn C.

I'm going to use a loaf of challah bread for stuffing next week. Should I freeze the loaf now, then thaw, bake it (to dry out the bread cubes) or cube and dry it now then freeze it til I make the stuffing?
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Joanne - I would recommend cubing the bread, freezing it, then thawing and drying. That way, if there is any moisture left from freezing and thawing (ice particles on the outside that melt, for example) you will drive that moisture away by drying it before using it in the stuffing. This will ensure that the bread is ready to soak up all of the flavorful liquid you're using to make your stuffing. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.

It seems that over the last several months, there have been several reruns of the whole podcast or at least the main theme. Is it possible to indicate that "this is a rerun" so I don't have to keep thinking, "didn't I already see/hear this?"
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Robert - In the episode description it should give the original air date, which will indicate that it's a rerun. Best, Lynn C.

Hello, I was wondering if I could freeze garlic? I bought a lot of organic garlic in the summer and it doesn’t look like it will last all winter. It’s starting to get soft. what would be the best way to store it? Thank you for your help.
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Luba - Yes! You can definitely freeze garlic. Although you can freeze whole cloves, we've found it best to freeze minced or chopped garlic covered with a little bit of neutral oil to preserve their flavor and texture for the long haul. Best, Lynn C.

Is there a way to search and filter out the hot pot versions of recipes. I don't use one and spend a lot of time looking at recipes I'm not going to use because I am looking for traditional cook recipes
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi David - At this point in time, there is no way to filter out recipes. However, most of our Instant Pot recipes should be labeled with "Fast & Slow," so they can be quickly identified. We are always working to improve our customer experience and I will pass along your suggestions to our digital team for future updates. Best, Lynn C.

Hello, I am trying to listen to the Milk Street podcasts starting with #512. When I play the podcast, it sounds as if there is an echo which makes the podcast unlistenable. I tried other podcasts, i.e. #'s 513, 514 and then I jumped to the most recent one, #530. All had the same issue. Could you assist? Thank you, Robert S.
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Robert - Thank you for letting us know. Our website audio player seems to be having an issue at the moment. In the meantime, you can listen to our episodes on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Tune In, Stitcher or Google Play. You can also click the 'Download Episode' button on the left hand side of any of our radio web pages. Thanks for listening to the show! Best, Lynn C.
