If you missed the show, it will be available this afternoon at WYPR's website.
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.

I don't know how to reach Alice Steinbach, but just in case you do..
She mentioned a special "fudge" that her Irish grandmother made but did not seem to know what it was. In the UK I learned to make "English Flapjacks", which I think she means, and I have the recipe, which I would be happy to share! They are yummy!

I am a contemporary of yours. My grandmother made 'brown candy' ...in my family it was called Aunt Bill's Brown Candy. It is exactly the same consistency as fudge but is this complex caramel flavor that instantly takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen. I have made it myself and have the recipe...timeconsuming but nothing else tastes quite like it. I am happy to share.
