How I Learned To Cook

5 questions for Laurie David

I’m fascinated by cooking journeys: Everyone’s is so different; everyone comes to cooking in their own unique way. Maybe you learned with a parent — or maybe you learned because your parents weren’t around much and you had to fend for yourself. Maybe you learned in order to impress a potential partner. Maybe you’re just an overachiever. So, in an effort to quench my curiosity, we’ve decided to start a new series. Each person in the series will answer the same five questions and in the process tell a little about themselves.

We’re doing it a little differently today, starting with the audio above: Mark interviews Laurie David, and Heather Reisman, coauthors of Imagine It! A Handbook for a Happier Planet, which seeks to answer the question on many people’s minds: What can I do personally to help our changing planet?
