A Smidge of Smitten Kitchen Keepers

Deb Perelman & J. Kenji López-Alt
About this episode

Congratulations are in order for Deb, who released the audiobook of Smitten Kitchen Keepers earlier this month. We are proud to share with you a little excerpt.

Back in 2006, when she was just starting her food journey, she encountered a lot of dud recipes on the internet. (Haven’t we all?) This book is a collection of the ones you’ll want to return to over and over again, aka the keepers.

You can purchase a hardcover version at our page on bookshop.org, and a portion of the sale will go towards supporting our network.

The Radiotopia fundraiser is happening now! Donate today.
