Spring RadioThon! Ben Thorpe of Cornerstone Bistro talks taste

 Ben Thorpe is Chef and Owner of Cornerstone Bistro in Middleton.  Appropriately, Ben comes to us on the week of RadioThon when we ask our community to support our excellent programming here at RadioBoise 89.9FM.  As a restaurateur, no one understands more the importance community plays in keeping the doors open!   Ben Thorpe feeds his community beyond the plate by locally sourcing from farmers and ranchers, serving seasonal cuisine of the highest quality. The Cornerstone Bistro also caters to specialized diets (gluten free, vegetarian, vegan). Enjoy this fun filled hour of taste talk, but I warn you, don’t listen hungry!

Raine Saunders talks health with a high fat diet (Weston A Price Foundation)- Part 1

Raine Saunders, nutrition writer and health coach, comes to us from a background in underground music promotion. When late nights and partying started to take a toll on her health, she switched gears and through her own health journey became an advocate for sustainable agriculture and the health of her community.  As part of her journey, Raine became a member of the Weston A. Price foundation. Price, an American dentist practicing in the early twentieth century, studied indigenous populations around the world. He found that diets rich in traditional animal fats and absent of sugars and processed foods resulted in excellent dental and overall health. Raine also promotes and follows a farm based diet which, in turn, supports our local farmers.
