The Cookbook Circle

Food #206

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.

Not for me

The hosts seems to spend as much time reviewing the author’s personality as they do the recipes in the book. I’m also not keen on how they dock non-vegetarian focused cookbooks for not being veggie friendly – there are plenty of cookbooks which cater to your dietary restrictions. Was looking for the right cookbook review podcast for me be I’ll have to keep looking.

Too much giggling

I can’t listen. Way too much giggling.

So fun

I love this podcast! Hannah and Victoria are smart, funny and entertaining. I get lots of inspiration for cooking from this show.

Entertaining and informative

Hannah and Victoria have a chatty and hilarious dynamic that sets this podcast apart, and they’re not afraid to share their honest opinions about the books (and authors) they are reviewing. I like that Hannah is a vegetarian (I’m not, but I don’t cook much meat), so there’s a perspective on veg-forward meals. They each cook from two or three recipes from their cookbook of choice, so listeners get a good idea of what does and doesn’t work. What else— love the ratings system. :)

Just Delightful

I love cookbooks, and clearly Hannah and Victoria do too! And they are much more charming and funny in their conversations about them than I would ever be, so this is such a wonderful, uplifting podcast to listen to. I just found out about The Cookbook Circle last week, and it’s absolutely one of my top three favorite podcasts already. It’s rare to find something that is wholly positive and enjoyable, and this is it.

Love it!

Listening to the cookbook circle is like hanging out with a couple of friends - the dynamic between these two lovely ladies comes across in the best way. I also really appreciate the practicality and real-life honesty about the cookbooks themselves. I know which ones are for me, and also which ones I’ll be giving a pass. So good!!
