Cookbook Club - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I recently stumbled upon this podcast, and am absolutely addicted! Renee and Sara are unapologetically so honest and genuine in their reviews and thoughts of each recipe and cookbook that they discuss. As an avid baker and mom who cooks for her family or 5, I am always looking for new ideas and recipes. They share what works for their own families and help me determine if it’s something I or my family would love. I have purchased quite a bit of cookbooks because of this podcast, and they have all been worth it. Their cookbook club have done all the hard work of cooking through the recipes and sharing their thoughts, and I truly truly appreciate their efforts. I am sad that they won’t be continuing after this year, but this podcast is such a treasure trove of top recipes, ideas and delightful conversations. Thank you so much, Sara and Renee! From a grateful mom in Redondo Beach, CA!

Sara and Renee, your podcast is one-of-a kind with your honesty, how involved and passionate you get about cookbooks and recipes, and the variety of topics and cookbooks you discuss. I am a greenhorn cook, and you’ve inspired me to try new recipes and cuisines. Your Cookbook Club is also an amazing idea to connect with friends, and I hope to start one with my friends and family soon!

Really enjoy listening to this podcast! I’ve bought 3 different cookbooks that were well loved by Sara and Renee (Six Seasons, Indian Instant Pot, and Vietnamese Food Any Day!!). The honest reviews, including what they loved and what they didn’t, makes it feel as though you’re discussing with friends. If you love cookbooks, recipes, and talking about food… this is for you!

I’m sad to hear that this is the last season of the podcast. It has been instrumental in helping me learn to cook and giving me ideas on how to get food on the table each night.
I particularly like the format: the podcast episodes switch back and forth between cookbook reviews and a deep dive on a food topic. Each episode is a well organized yet naturally flowing conversation amongst the hosts, who don’t hold back in sharing their wealth of knowledge. Thank you!
