New Year's Resolutions! Start the New Year out right with "A Chef's Table." Sara Moulton stops by to give us suggestions on family meals. "Invite Your Neighbor to Dinner Day" makes an easy goal to improve your community. Or, start a Wine Club with some friends and finally learn that grape lingo! And don't book a cruise without hearing about the inner-working of the cruise-ship empires. Finally, Chef eats a raisin and discovers the Zen of eating with Registered Dietician Ellie Krieger, author of "Small Changes: Big Results."
