The Cookbook Circle
Mastering the Art of French Cooking - Julia Child
Allez! Join us as we attempt to master the art (and dairy) of French cooking alongside the wonderful Julia Child, who changed the American home-cooking scene with this book in 1961, firmly establishing herself as one of the most-loved figures in the cookbook world. Find out what we love about her unique style of recipe-writing, which saucy classic Victoria cooked up and which cartoon crush Hannah can't let go of with her choice of dish.
We give a shout-out to some foodie emails that we love in this episode - Vittles, Alicia Kennedy and Stained Page News - go forth and subscribe!
We'd love to hear if you have this book and what you think of our take on it. Let us know @cookbookcircle on Instagram and Twitter. If we can find the recipes that we cook online, we add them to our website. Check them out here: www.thecookbookcircle.com

52:33Thank you so much for listening to this season, we've had so much fun! Hear all our takes in one place in our season wrap up, and we also answer your questions. See you back here soon. ByeeeeeeeeTheme music: Lovely Swindler - Amaria20. Doma - Spasia Pandora Dinkovski
01:07:41We're finishing off this season with Doma by Spasia Pandora Dinkovski, which introduces us to the world of Balkan food, and frankly, it's seems like our kinda world. Filo pastry, sparkling water and cheese. What more could you want?!Theme music: Lovely Swindler - Amaria19. Vegan Japaneasy - Tim Anderson
01:39:04Allow us to transport you to the delicious shores of Japan (who one of us knows lots about) for this episode, cooking from Tim Anderson's Vegan Japaneasy AND you can hear all about Victoria's recent trip there - plus a few tangents, but some things never change..Theme music: Lovely Swindler - Amaria18. Bahari - Dina Macki
01:11:26Dina Macki's first book, Bahari, is a gorgeous deep dive into Omani cuisine and a window into her family's background. The window into our kitchens may show at least one ruined pan, though...Theme music: Lovely Swindler - Amaria17. The Ultimate Tomato Sauce
46:33We're back out doing God's work and testing the best tomato sauces for you guys! And in the words of our US pals, we're talking pomodoro, not marinara...What's your go-to recipe?! We want to hear! Theme music: Lovely Swindler - Amaria16. The Cookbook Circle Meets... AI recipes
59:50We asked you for a wildcard episode idea - and you delivered! We took on Chat GPT, gave it an idea (or three) for recipes and got to cooking. Find out how we got on...Lovely Swindler - Amaria15. All About... Gingerbread
01:05:08We wouldn't call ourselves particular... except we like gingerbread in the form of cookies and cake, rather than houses and men, ok? We may not have the bells this year as sound effects, but we're still getting festive here at the Cookbook Circle - talking all things Xmas cooking and more specifically, our favourite recipes for gingerbread. Let us know what your favourite is, and critically, if you've made a gingerbread house, do you eat it?!Lovely Swindler - AmariaSmith the Mister14. Sunday - Sophie Godwin
01:00:12Sunday, Sunday, gotta get down on Sunday! 🎵 If you've ever dreamed of us talking about a book with the author right there, then your dream finally comes true with this episode. Sophie Godwin joins us to tell us all about her creative process and her first cookbook, Sunday. Lovely Swindler - AmariaSmith the Mister13. More is More - Molly Baz
01:14:32Molly Baz is BACK. Cukes, Umam and 'za all feature in this one, and if you understand all those letters but not the 'words' then, don't fear the CBC is here. More is More is likely the most maximalist book we've ever covered. Bring your sunglasses! The books we talked about at the top of the episode were Ramen Forever by Tim Anderson, Bitter by Alexina Anatole and Roast Figs, Sugar Snow by Diana Henry.Lovely Swindler - AmariaSmith the Mister
