In mid-December 2010, I asked Field & Feast Facebook followers if any of them wanted to be on the radio show and prepare a recipe they planned to make for Super Bowl Sunday. Len Fillmore was the first to volunteer. Yet, when she said she planned to make Winter Squash Chutney, I was skeptical.
Lenora “Len” Fillmore of Georgetown, Texas, was kind enough to volunteer to cook on the radio for a Field & Feast segment focusing on foods home cooks serve at their Super Bowl parties. Get to know her–you’ll be glad you did.
Because we have two shows this weekend featuring different cooks with different recipes, I decided to put up the web pages that would ordinarily go live on Saturday now.

Eating from the land—including the occasional harvest of wild game for the table—was very much the norm for my mother’s family.
Selecting, serving and storing artisanal cheese needn’t be a daunting task. Never feel embarrassed about asking for help from your cheesemonger–they want to talk to you about cheese and help you develop a better understanding about this living food.
For cheese-loving food enthusiasts few things are more comforting or warming on a chilly winter’s day than a bowl of cheese soup.
