Mario Batali on 'Faces of America,' a New PBS Series About Genealogy
Ever stopped and wondered about Mario Batali's gene pool? Well thanks to Faces of America, a new PBS series airing on Wednesday, February 10, with host Henry Louis Gates, Jr., you can know more about his French-Canadian great grandfather (whose last name was LaFramboise, or "raspberry" in French) and his other Italian side. Mario admits he doesn't look super Italian—except maybe his lips and nose, which he describes as Roman and Tuscan. But luckily he grew up in an Irish suburban neighborhood so he didn't get teased for the bright red hair, more for eating oxtails in traditional Italian cuisine. Watch the clip, after the jump...Julia Child: Cooking with Master Chefs

Our farm policies frankly are a ramshackle, a costly mess — a monster jerrybuilt by politics. What was supposed to be a temporary financial...'The Ring of Truth: Atoms,' with Julia Child

If you like both noodles and science, you should get a kick out of this video from the physicist Philip Morrison's 1987 PBS show The Ring of Truth: Atoms, in which chef Mark Pi makes noodles to demonstrate the principle of halving: After handpulling and folding the noodles just twelve times, Pi's created 4,096 strands so thin they're called dragon's beard noodles; Morrison points out that if Pi pulls and folds them another thirty times, the noodles would be so fine as to approach atomic thickness!...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
