Description

The Cookbook Circle is here to help you rediscover those cookbooks that you already have at home. We combed through every possible list of ‘best cookbooks’, and created our own master list. In each episode of The Cookbook Circle, we’ll pick one book and decipher its genius. We’ll read it cover-to-cover, cook a few of the recipes each and report back on what we loved, what we didn’t, and let you know if we think it deserves a place in all those ‘best of’ lists, giving it a Cookbook Circle mark out of five. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
