This week on Milk Street Radio, master baker Dorie Greenspan remembers her experiences with Julia Child. “When I first met Julia she said... ‘Have you ever seen the Dan Aykroyd Saturday Night Live skit? You know, where Dan Aykroyd imitates me?’ She stood up and did the entire routine, so I got to watch Julia imitating Dan Aykroyd imitating Julia.” Also on today’s show, wine expert Stephen Meuse decodes vintage wines, we offer our recipes for high-heat scrambled eggs and Georgian Chicken Soup, Nigella Lawson gives us a quick Tuesday night meal, and Sara Moulton and Christopher Kimball take your calls.

Also on today’s show, we make a quick Tuesday night meal with Lidia Bastianich and bring you a revolutionary approach to foolproof pie dough. Plus, we talk to Stephanie Danler, author of the novel “Sweetbitter,” and Christopher Kimball and Sara Moulton take your calls. Originally aired 11/13/16.
