  • Behind the scenes with amazing authors

    A fascinating behind the scenes look into the cookbook industry. An inspiring group of women take me behind the scenes of how these books are created. While I have no plans of writing my own cookbook I love to read them like you might read a novel. The conversational tone, and breadth of topics make me look forward to each episode. Highly recommended for fans of cookbooks!

  • GREAT podcast

    For those of us cookbook obsessed (or maybe just rather interested), there’s no podcast that looks as deeply and from as many different angles as Everything Cookbooks. They interview some amazing chefs which are so fun to get insight into. And my favorite episodes are when the 4 hosts talk shop with each other. A total charmer podcast.
