Today we take a look at some good ideas. We begin with an MD who went to culinary school. A scrip from him is often a recipe! Of course, chicken soup is one healing food that comes to mind. And, we'll find out about one woman's quest for the best recipe -- she didn't have to look far. Oysters are in season around the country. So, John T. Edge finds us some unique oyster joints in the south. Also, why did aprons fall out of fashion... and why are they back? Plus, traveling through Beaujolais territory and some great ingredients from a Tuscan pantry.

What do you think... are aprons coming back in style? Would you wear one in public? Weigh in on WHYY's Culinary Arts Blog The Sixth Square

Today, we're taking a look at how we eat... with a nod to the past and an eye to the future. Are we better off? What's changed? We begin by looking at the biography of a forgotten foodwriter whose readership topped twelve million in fifties and sixties. Of course, we walk down memory lane and recall the work of Julia Child. Fast forward to today — what's the latest oil to hit the chef scene? Foodnetwork's Two Dudes reveal secrets of cooking oil, celebrity catering and easy dishes with one pan. Regulars Josh Ozersky and Maureen Petrosky stop by to fill us in on new trends in meat and wine packaging. Plus WWII rationing, Chef Coleman's family lamb recipe and much more.

It's almost Halloween, so let's go into the dark side of food. We'll discover common frauds from the past, plus some concerns for today. The creator of the Spiderwick Chronicles talks about her latest venture into the world of fairies. And what's Halloween without a murder mystery? We've got one one plotted in a vineyard! Also, what does our brain need to succeed? A pediatric neurosurgeon gives us nutritional advice to get our neurons firing. Plus reality tuna fishing, a winning brownie, and Halloween treats for kids with braces.

This is no fish story. Norman Brook on the right with tuna catch of the day and fellow fisherman, Chris Tortu. Email us your fish tales and pics at chef@whyy.org
