Still Life with Cookbooks, Berkeley, California / copyright Justice Putnam — “It may be safely averred that good cookery is the best and truest economy, turning to full account every wholesome article of food, and converting into palatable meals what the ignorant either render uneatable or throw away in disdain.” - Eliza Acton ‘Modern Cookery for Private Families’ (1845)

Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Smothered Benedict Wednesday is now available on the Spreaker Player!

Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump’s personal lawyer and now an appellate judge, Emil Bove, could be hauled into court for criminal contempt and somebody could go to jail for lying to the judge back in March.

Then, on the rest of the menu, it sure looks like Karoline Leavett’s brother set up his ex-wife and mother of his child to be apprehended by ICE for deportation; in the latest sign that a suspected effort to build an immigrant detention center in Newport, Oregon has not gone away, a federal defense contractor has been inquiring about reserving hundreds of hotel rooms on the Oregon coast for a year; and, a federal appeals court upheld a $1 million penalty against Trump and Alina Habba for filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, James Comey and others.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where France’s top court upheld Nicolas Sarkozy’s conviction and prison sentence for illegal campaign financing of his 2012 reelection bid; and, Kremlin Steve Witkoff is teaching a master class to Russian officials on how to get Trump to sabotage Ukraine and NATO.

All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.

Bon Appétit!
