This month, KUT debuted Field and Feast, a show about gardening and, ultimately, cooking your bounty, hosted by Cecilia Nasti. The five minute show airs Saturdays at 11:55 a.m. during Folkways and Sundays at 11 a.m. during The Splendid Table. Field and Feast embraces cooking seasonally and will feature gardeners and cooks of all stripes. The show will also address food traditions, policies and food insecurity. more ›

By far the most laid back event of the fest, Sunday Fair will have you loping about the greenscape of the soon-to-be Salt Lick Winery, amidst a bevy of vendors sampling their wine, food, liquor and more wine. Let’s say that again: WINE. Sunday Fair will play host to over 30 wineries from across the globe, giving you ample opportunity to discover your new favorite bottle. more ›

Duran: It's important to remember that the Television is part of the American culture. Therefore it's only natural that food has become a theme to be covered through this medium. As long as these chefs are inspiring viewers to start cooking in their own kitchens, I see no issues with what they are doing. more ›

Julie Powell is a hero to food geeks everywhere, but Austin food geeks should be especially proud. Long story short: An Austin native without formal culinary training, she and her husband packed up for NYC a few years ago, and, soon after, she began the cathartic process of plowing through Julia Childs' tome, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." A year later, she had recreated every recipe in the book, blogging the whole way through. The blog begat a book - The Julie/Julia Project - and the rest is food geek history. more ›
