While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Getting saucy and inventing pasta with Dan Pashman (Rebroadcast)

WAMU 88.5 | By A.C. Valdez

Dan Pashman speaks onstage during the Food & Fake News: Separating Fact from Fiction presented by Ajinomoto panel at Beverage Media presents Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits Trade Tasting hosted by Wine Spectator at Pier 94 in New York City.

Look. If you like to cook,you’vemade your share of mistakes.But that’s okay! Mistakes are how we learn, in the kitchen as in so many other places in life.

That’s why we’re talking with author (and pasta shape inventor) Dan Pashman. He’s been testing the finest Italian sauce receptacles and cooking in the kitchen with his daughters.

He’s out with a new cookbook, “Anything’s Pastable: 81 Inventive Pasta Recipes for Saucy People.” So, why reinvent the classics? Why branch out when what you’re familiar with is a good old bowl of mac ‘n cheese or carbonara?

He joins us to answer those questions and more.
