Chef George Geary’s latest is Citrus Illustrated from Chronicle Books, a brightly illustrated guide to all things citrus! “Learn about these beautiful and practical fruits, why to cherish them, and how to put them to good use, including 35 sensational recipes. From the ubiquitous navel orange to the lesser-known Fukushu kumquat to the straight-up-funky Buddha’s hand citron, citrus comes in many forms. Knowing exactly how and when to best harness their bright essences can be a challenge—until now. This handy little cookbook offers a fascinating exploration of over 25 citrus varieties and their many uses, from enriching simple dishes to the oils of the peel and juice of the fruit.” Chef George Geary joins us to “Squeeze the Day!”“Founded in 2024, The Festival of Undiscovered Grapes is a one-of-a-kind tasting event dedicated to celebrating the diversity of California wine through its lesser-known grape varieties. Featuring 60+ producers and more than 100 unique grapes, the festival is a destination for wine lovers eager to explore beyond the familiar. It returns on Saturday, March 28th to Mica Studios in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles.” VIP access is at Noon and General Admission starts at 2:00 p.m. Founder Allison Levine joins us pulling the cork on all that is “The Festival of Undiscovered Grapes.”
