Editors often toil in the background while assisting authors in making books better. Their work is crucial and usually unsung. Judith Jones was an extraordinary editor whose praises should be sung for the world is a better place for her efforts. We talk about it with author Sara B. Franklin. Her book is The Editor: How Publishing Legend Judith Jones Shaped Culture in America. It’s on Tip of the Tongue.

Still hungry for more? You can read more about Sara B. Franklin.

This is an encore chance to listen to a podcast with Celia Cerasoli. Celia writes a newsletter called The Perfect Artichoke. It’s full of great information and recipes. She leads cooking and travel opportunities to Italy. And is full of wisdom about Italian cooking and adapting it to the American table. I thought that you would enjoy hearing it again.

She is not only all about food, but also about art. And her work with artist, Ugo Tesoriere, is well documented here.

There is so much to talk about with Saffron NOLA’s Arvinder and Ashwin Vilkhu! They were nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef South. This is their second nomination. We talk about what makes a restaurant a success - family, talent, hard work, and the joy of happy diners.

Listen! It’s on Tip of the Tongue.
