In Episode 77, Gen and Jette finally cover a topic they’ve had planned since Another Book on the Shelf was born—cookbooks!
Do cookbooks count as books? Do they count as reading? What makes a great cookbook? We discuss these questions and talk about some of favourite cookbooks, as well as cover what is about cookbooks that we love so much.
Episode Notes
This conversation was a so much fun, so please add to it by letting us know your favourite cookbooks (or nostalgic recipes!).
Our minds are working over cookbook ideas of our own, so let us know what novel you think deserves it’s own cookbook. What bookish cookbook have you always wanted? Maybe we’ll fulfill your dreams at some point in the future!
