ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
On A Cook's Library Will Stewart 'chews the fat' with home cooks and professional chefs about a book of their choosing that has influenced the food they cook, eat, and obsess over.
Be it the first book they were given, one they open for a simple supper, or the one that serves as their 'kitchen bible'. There's no book too big, too small, too academic or too novel.
