We chat with Emmy Award-winning talk show host, journalist Tamron Hall and her good friend, award-winning chef Lish Steiling about their new book, "A Confident Cook."

When Tamron Hall and Lish Steiling first met while working at the Today show, they never imagined their friendship would lead to kitchen adventures filled with laughs. In the book, “A Confident Cook” they share that same empowerment and excitement with those just beginning to cook. This book guides beginning cooks and seasoned home cooks through delicious recipes.

Pre-order the book, “A Confident Cook” now for the September 3rd release and enjoy the Baked French Toast recipe from the book.

When I first saw Jeremy Intille on the Jason Show, I knew we had to connect. He reminds me of the rock and roll pastry chef you want to see and hear what he is going to do next. He is sassy, funny, talented, and oh so sweet. Watch his segment here:

I first discovered these fantastic chocolate bonbons from my friend Laurie at the Golden Fig. They are so beautiful and equally delicious. They are the creations of local chocolatier Denny Rain from Cocoa Flake Mn.

I was delighted to gift them to in our Mother's Day edition of “Taste Buds With Stephanie.” Listen to the podcast to learn more about this talented Minnesota Maker, and watch for her chocolate shop to open this Fall in Robbinsdale.
