The Cookbook Circle

Go buy some dill, dust off the millennial dictionary and get those nails done: we're off to Brooklyn again and diving into the cookbooks - yes, plural - of Alison Roman. We're shaking it up this episode by taking a book each so you get more bang for your buck, and we've got lots of things to say. But what's new? We know lots of you have these books at home so we'd love to hear what you think - let us know on socials @cookbookcircle.Support us on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/thecookbookcircle (thank you!)Music: Upbeat Funk, Infraction

Do you like Asian food and tangents? Well, boy do we have the episode for you! Of course we give you the lowdown on Hetty McKinnon's book, To Asia With Love, where she creates veggie versions of all her childhood faves, but we also find out what Victoria's fictional dogs would be called, and Hannah maybe breaks the record for the amount of puns in one episode. Not to be missed! Support us on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/thecookbookcircle (thank you!)Music: Upbeat Funk, Infraction and Riviera, Smith the Mister

Stand mixer? Check. Piping bags? Check. A minor kitchen disaster? Check. We're all set for Ravneet Gill's pastry-school-in-a-book, The Pastry Chef's Guide. We love a baking book - our first since Dorie Greenspan last season - so get that sweet tooth ready and join us to find out what we made (and while we develop a big ol' crush on Ravneet).Do you have a copy of this at home and if not, are you tempted to get one after listening? We'd love to hear! Music: Upbeat Funk, Infraction and Riviera, Smith the Mister

It may be Alice's book, but Hannah and Victoria are the ones in vegetable Wonderland for this episode. We are digging deep into Alice Zaslavsky's ode to all (seriously, all) the vegetables, In Praise of Veg. It's colourful, classy and full of fun aaaand the book is interesting too... So, come down the rabbit hole and join us in Wonderland. Let us know what you love about this book, there are so many recipes, we know there will be loads to discover. Music: Upbeat Funk, Infraction

Grab those cukes and crouts, we're about to talk all things Molly Baz, the all-American gal who you may know from Bon Appetit, and her first book, Cook This Book. We do our very best to get down with the kids (and ultimately resort to our most cynical British and Irish selves) while scanning QR codes and learning all of Molly's Golden Rules - but, as always, we are truly psyched to be here. Let us know if you've made any of Molly's recipes, and what your favourite abbreviation is @cookbookcircle on Insta and Twitter. Now, who's for a k-bas?Music: Upbeat Funk, Infraction and Riviera, Smith the Mister

We're back for Season 2 and it's a beauty of book to kick us off: Meera Sodha's ode to all things Asian and vegetarian, East. We're giddy to be back together and cooking, rating, ranting and (maybe) raving about cookbooks, so please excuse alll the tangents. In the end, all roads lead East for this one.You might have a fave Meera recipe from her books or column in the Guardian, and if so, please share! We are @cookbookcircle on Twitter and Instagram.Music: Upbeat Funk, Infraction.
