I was wondering what the modern version of 1 of my cookbooks looks like. Thanks to my local library, I now know the difference between 1975 & 2019 @joyofcooking.bsky.social. I'm not saying you should put it on your Christmas wish list, but I wouldn't mind finding it under my Christmas tree.
2 copies of the Joy of Cooking books stacked on top of one another. The bottom one is from 2019, and the top one is from 1975.

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

Big thanks to @katemcdermott.bsky.social for joining us on the pod last week! She recounts her pie whisperer origin story, we talk about geoduck pie (her fam's favorite), why you should be listening for the "sizzle-whump," and how to get the tallest and fluffiest meringue.

New ep is up! We are joined by Shane Mitchell, author of The Crop Cycle, a @bittersouth.bsky.social essay collection that profiles 11 iconic Southern crops. Shane chronicles the history of their cultivation and poignantly writes of those who grow and devour them.

Happy to share our convo w/ Maureen Abood, author of Lebanese Baking. We talk about the genesis of her book, writing generous recipes, a cheater knafeh that uses shredded wheat cereal, and what sets baking apart as an expression of care and remembrance.

Super excited to have @culinarybreeding.bsky.social on our podcast! Lane has been bringing seed breeders and chefs together for over a decade now. We love the community she has created! A good listen for vegetable stans and plant nerds. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Ep 35! We loved talking with @amateurgourmet.bsky.social about his debut novel Food Person, a comedy about a cookbook ghostwriter and their narcissistic celebrity client. Plus: ice creams, cookbook faves, and how bad AI search might be making them more relevant. 🤞

New episode! We talk to Melissa Knific about her upcoming cookbook that celebrates our national parks, and testing recipes from every country in the world (!) for an exciting Jessica Nabongo project. Plus, we offer a listener advice about food and recipe writing.
A smartphone on a yellow background sorrounded by a pair of headphones. Our new podcast episode plays on, deeply affected by but seemingly oblivious to the fascistic hellscape that lurks beyond the image frame. Melissa Knific, down by the water, hair swept back by a light breeze, smiling at a spectacle or person to the right of the image frame. A sharply lit plate piled high with shaved fennel and white bean salad, topped with shaved parm. An impossibly blue drinking glass filled with an effervescent liquid is nearby. A book opened on a surface, its pages fanned out. Text superimposed above and below reads: “Joy Scouts Cooking Club: COOK ALONG WITH US WEEKLY FROM THE 2019 EDITION; SHAVED FENNEL & WHITE BEAN SALAD PAGE 129; @joyofcooking #joyscoutscookingclub” (those are for Instagram)

Friendly reminder that a) if you don't already own the 2019 edition, you should buy it, and b) this is a book that you should just pick up and read on the regular, even if you're not planning to cook anything

Ep 24 is up, and we’re talking Joy history again. Specifically, we focus on Marion’s ground-breaking 1963 edition... the first truly modern Joy.

This one means a lot to me! 🧵

Just got our order and we’re pretty stoked. They’re the best! Jump on this flavorful, velvety bean bandwagon while you can.

You probably know, but we wanted to remind you that we have Good Mother Stallards back. Deep rich flavor, velvety texture and an addicting bean broth make Good Mother Stallard almost everyone's favorite bean. Supplies are limited!

We had a blast talking with @ranchogordo.bsky.social on the podcast! We chat about how he started out, his go-to recipe for "free soup," the precarity of doing business when trade policy is insane, and why Good Mother Stallards are so dang good.

Omg!!!

I totally forgot like the 2 most important books for a superior foundation to your cookery library.

I left out my girl @joyofcooking.bsky.social and Fannie Mae.

Those 2 alone will change your life!!!!

Get ‘em.

Lastly here are some cookbooks I often refer to when my brain isn’t working. You can also refer to any cookbook or cooking site for ideas on how to cook the veggies.

It also helps if you pair your veggie flavor profile with that of your protein.

Recipe club assignment for this week: the Chan Chan. Muddled cucumber and basil get shaken with lime juice, St. Germain, Old Tom gin. Recipe’s on page 20 of the 2019 ed.

A little summery, but hey, the PDX spring fake-out is ending and this is our send-off for that lovely glowing orb in the sky.
A Chan Chan cocktail, served in a coupe glass. A thin slice of cucumber floats on the surface of the beverage, and an upended borage blossom sits atop it like a baby seal on an ice floe.
