Eat | Dink | Cheap Episode 49 – The Essential Cookbooks

March 18, 2026March 19, 2026 Shawn Leave a comment

Simon and Shawn list their “essential cookbook” lists which has been a simmering idea on both the podcast and the website since it’s inception. The idea of an “essential” list of cookbooks is as insane as it is fun to discuss. For better or worse they hash out a need-to-have cookbook list special to us.

The Essential Cookbooks

March 18, 2026March 18, 2026 Shawn Leave a comment

On our last podcast, Simon and I listed our “essential cookbook” lists which has been a simmering idea on both the podcast and this website since it’s inception. The idea of an “essential” list of cookbook is as insane as it is fun to discuss. For better or worse we hashed out what we considered a need-to-have cookbook and what was especially special to us. Listen to the podcast here.

Forget steak! We may have already left Robbie Burns Day in the past, but Shawn and Simon still wants to talk about the jiggly, wiggly, wobbly bits and pieces of meat that often get overlooked and undercooked in this day and age.
