This week Taunya introduces the Beignet, the official donut of Louisiana. This recipe is a yeasted version of the beignet that is easy to make and not intimidating to folks (like Taunya), new to deep frying. Melody and Taunya talk about the James Beard awards and dream of some day being among the ranks of the podcast broadcaster nominees. We can dream! Melody talks about her love of all things roasted garlic and her go-to spread (instead of cheese and butter!).
