This week’s GoalChat was a food and cooking love fest. I was joined by food writer, baker, and novelist Aaron Hamburger; Babette Pepaj, founder of Bakespace/BakeBot and co-founder of TastyUpdate.com; and CW Silverberg, host of “Schmoozing & Cruising” and “Tripping Kosher.”
Aaron, Babette, and CW shared food stories, recipes, and cooking and baking tips. There were also plenty of nods to the panel’s midwestern roots. Happy Holidays!
