The Radio Kitchen Home Page

I'm Michael Reining and I've spent about 18 years in kitchens around the San Francisco area. Most recently as the Executive Sous Chef at Postrio Café and Bar in San Francisco. I'm a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, I have cooked in restaurants and corporate catering kitchens, pie shops and even Jack-In-The-Box (my first cooking gig when I was 18). I've also done some personal catering and some cooking instruction. After 17 years as a veteran of broadcast radio (read-Disc Jockey) and now nearly 18 years as a kitchen pro, I am putting all the pieces of my life into this project. I am your host for The Radio Kitchen.

Through the stories on The Radio Kitchen I want to get you interested, PASSIONATE, about food and cooking. I'm gonna tell you a story, a story that, I hope will make you hungry. Hungry for more! More food. More information. More recipes. More. Join me as I concoct a mélange ranging from interviews with food pros and foodies, recipe and menu ideas, new and fun food products, plus ways to play with your food along with wines and spirits.

So here we go!!! Keep watching this space for updates with new articles, recipes, podcasts and fun!

Our first collaboration with the start-up of CookStream.TV! A VIDEO interview and demo with Chef Michael Kalanty, author and baking instructor. (On the Radio Kitchen!)
We've had Michael on the program before, and now, in addition to his book, "How To Bake Bread" (Red Seal), he's got an HD video cookbook available on iTunes called "Bread Baking The Artisan Way"
