Meatloaf, Every Which Way + Nik Sharma

paper-bag-meatloaf-parchment-recipe_sq_Amy TraversoFaith and the gang celebrate that ol’ American classic, meatloaf, in this favorite from the archive. Meatloaf 100 ways! Whether you like all beef, a meaty blend, or a meatless meatloaf, there’s a recipe idea here for every loaf lover. (Check out Yankee Magazine’s Meatloaf in a Brown Paper Bag!) Plus, food writer Nik Sharma joins the party with an Indian-spiced international meatloaf, as well as other recipes from his beautiful cookbook, Season. Nik shares recipes for Margherita Naan Pizza, Sumac-Seared Scallops, and Spicy Chocolate Chip-Hazelnut Cookies. Also this week, local chef Ben Zemmel from Alforno in Old Saybrook talks to Faith about what it’s like to take over a successful family restaurant.
