Cult Flav Is Going Off

The Cookbooks That Got Away, Recipe Copyright Infringement, Top 10 Sexiest Foods

Episode Summary

t’s Valentine’s Day at the time of recording! We’re celebrating it by going through all the Cookbooks that got away this season, then we’ve got some listener questions about bulk meal prep and recipe copyright infringement, and wrapping the episode up with a game where we name the top 10 sexiest foods. We’ve also chosen our second cookbook review of the year, and it’s going to be Nicola Lamb’s Sift — a pastry book — which is something that has long been requested. We’re just kicking off our stand mixer review and thought it’d be fun to try doing both at once — an idea we’ll surely regret in a few weeks’ time, but for now. It seems fun? But, because we’ve chosen our next topic, we now have to say goodbye to all the books we didn’t get to review in a timely manner (though, they may make a return later who knows). I wouldn’t say we’ve got strong opinions, but… these were the books that got us excited over the last few months. Enjoy the show!
