Subscribe: Apple | Stitcher | Spotify

It's kind of hard to resist  Smitten Kitchen. The woman behind the blog, Deb Perelman, visits the Food Republic Today studio to talk about the continued success of her long-running site, why she and her family still live in Manhattan when so many have decamped to Brooklyn and the 'burbs, and, of course, her long-awaited second cookbook, Smitten Kitchen Every Day: Triumphant And Unfussy New Favorites. Before the news, co-hosts Richard Martin and Krista Ruane, a veteran recipe developer and food stylist, discuss tips for making gingerbread houses. We wrap up with another holiday carol, performed by Food Republic Today producer Katie Guhl.
