Cooking the Books with Yotam and Nigella

Who first started collecting recipes into cookbooks? Do cookbooks
have a future in a world full of online recipes? And can cookbooks
tell us anything about what people are actually eating, or are they
simply aspirational food porn? This episode, we explore the past,
present, and future of cookbooks, from cuneiform tablets to Hail
Marys, with the help of two of our favorite cookbooks authors—and
Gastropod fans—Nigella Lawson and Yotam Ottolenghi. Learn more
