In this short Unabridged podcast episode, we share some of our favorite cookbooks and books about food. Each of us talks about how much cooking she does in her home (spoiler alert: one of us just doesn't cook). We also take on how working toward minimalism impacts our cookbook collections.
Our choices range from memoir to investigative nonfiction to the plain old cookboook.
We'd love to hear about your food-related recommendations on social media!
