It’s taken us a minute, but we’re back with season 4 tomorrow! And yes, now you mention it, we’ve had a little glow-up, so you can look forward to some fresh new cover art with your usual serving of cookbook chat.

This season is all about restaurant cookbooks. Since starting the podcast, we’ve covered a few of these and are always fascinated by them… Can you *really* have restaurant-quality dishes at home? Can chefs actually translate recipes for the home chef, without the same equipment, pantry and, let’s face it, training and experience?

We’ve already picked some of the best-known from around the world, but are on the lookout for more - so do let us know if there’s a book you’d love to hear about.

In the meantime - see you tomorrow! 👩🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳

Better late to the party than never…right? We’re taking our love of all things food and cooking to the written word and starting our very own CBC Substack! Expect recipes we’ve developed together, deep dives on (likely ridiculous) subjects and a few of our favourite things.
