Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart, with Guest Author of “Rottenkid,” Brigit Binns
Welcome back to Pizza Quest! Brigit Binns first appeared on Pizza Quest a few years ago when we filmed some cooking segments with her and her husband, actor Casey Biggs, at the Forno Bravo Wood-Fired Oven Expo in Salinas, California in 2017 (see us in action here at: https://www.fornobravo.com/pizzaquest/new-webisode-brigit-binns-cooking-fire/
Brigit and Casey have also been operating a wonderful retreat and event center in California’s Central Coast Wine Country called, Refugio, but she’s far too prolific for settling into the so-called good life, and so keeps writing fabulous cook books for Williams-Sonoma and others, as well as, more recently, a memoir called Rottenkid, about growing up in (and surviving) a neurotically crazy Hollywood family (the title says it all). In this delightfully candid conversation, she shares it all with us, including some good, old-fashioned Hollywood gossip – hey, you can’t make up this stuff!
