This time around, we’re discussing the classic cookbook, Roast Chicken and Other Stories by “the food writer’s food writer” Simon Hopkinson. Find out what we cooked, which dish failed miserably under the influence of wine, Victoria’s adventures with body cheese and whether we think this is worthy of its place as one of the top books on our master list. Do you have a copy of this on your bookshelf? Let us know if you’ve cooked from it and what you think <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cookbookcircle/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cookbookcircle</a> on Instagram and Twitter. We also mention Ed Smith’s exciting new book, Crave: Recipes Arranged by Flavour, to Suit Your Mood and Appetite, which is out in May 2021. <a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/8236547">Get bonus content on Patreon</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.

The Cookbook Circle is here to help you rediscover those cookbooks that you already have at home. We combed through every possible list of ‘best cookbooks’, and created our own master list. In each episode of The Cookbook Circle, we’ll pick one book and decipher its genius. We’ll read it cover-to-cover, cook a few of the recipes each and report back on what we loved, what we didn’t, and let you know if we think it deserves a place in all those ‘best of’ lists, giving it a Cookbook Circle mark out of five.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
