Cookbooks are as varied as the authors who write them and foodies who consume them. They can be beautifully bound works of art or practical resources. Either way, they provide inspiration. And sometimes that inspiration goes beyond the kitchen.

Listen as writer, artist, and food lover Matt Terrell recounts how his favorite style of cookbook influenced a unique writing project that resulted in a fictional cookbook. Yes, you read that right, a fictional cookbook. Which, if you really think about it isn't so far fetched. Our cookbooks are more than just a list of ingredients and methods. They tell many stories.

Thank you to our Sponsor Bob’s Red Mill for keeping my pantry full of fabulous flours and baking products!
