Kitchens, Spoons, Machin

Kurt Andersen and special guest film director and writer Nora Ephron talk about the cult and culture of the kitchen, from the evolution of its design to its inspiration for contemporary artists and poets. We’ll also explore the elegant utility of the spoon and hear one novelist’s passion for Cuban singer Antonio Machin.
