I enjoy your show and especially liked the recent special about salt (who knew salt could be so interesting). Coincidentally Preservation magazine had run an article regarding the Zunis who worship Salt Woman.
Now my question, we are renovating our kitchen and am torn between electric or gas ovens (they would both have a convection feature). In your experience, is their much difference between the two; is one significantly better than the other, is one better for some things than the other? Thanks

I've cooked on and in a lot of shiny metal boxes and I have to say I like a gas cook top and an electric convection oven....hands down. I just wish I had two ovens at home which I don't.
