In the final full episode of Season 2, we decided to focus on food writer and cookbook machine, Diana Henry. It's another 2-for-1 special, with Victoria cooking from From the Oven to the Table and Hannah taking the fuzzy wuzzy How to Eat a Peach.

As usual, it's not just about the recipes, as we range from the dating life of Girls Aloud alumni to TikTok trends - and as ever, we love you even more for sticking with us through it all!

Come dine with us, little dumplings, as we tell you all about Olia Hercules' latest book, Home Food. We've been gone for a little while, but we haven't forgotten how to go off on tangents, so you can look forward to discussions ranging from our prospective applications for Love Island to cabbage tattoos. We do also talk about Home Food, promise!

Are you a Dessert Person? Are WE Dessert People? Many questions as we delve into the first book from Bon Appetit baking queen, Claire Saffitz - she of Gourmet Makes fame and (did you know?) extensive academia - not before discussing the very serious subject of cookie boxes.

Friends, we had a tech nightmare and are coming to you (almost) LIVE with a rawwww, unedited episode - but let's not let that detract from the one, the only, Anna Jones, much requested by you, our lovely listeners. Hannah takes her first book, A Modern Way to Eat, while Victoria takes her latest, One PPP... not before we discuss our ideal foodie gifts. And we want to hear yours!

We're SO sorry that we've had to delay the episode for this week. BUT here's a bonus minisode about favourite cookbooks! Whenever we tell people we have a podcast about cookbooks, we're usually asked the this very question: what's your favourite?

The Green Roasting Tin and India Express, that's one (episode). You don't need much equipment for this episode, as we're talking about the powerhouse of one pan cooking, Rukmini Iyer, and we couldn't do her a disservice by only picking one book! With more digressions than usual, and multiple appearances from Hannah's dog, we had a ball (or should we say fall?!) talking about these books.

Is fusion a dirty word? Ixta Belfrage doesn't think so, and she's gifted the world Mezcla, her debut solo book, to convince us that we should embrace fusion cusine. Stock up on chillies, peppers, and tomatoes, and join us on a very red journey through Mezcla. Get a Cookbook Circle point everytime you hear the word 'excited'. Very importantly, can we (finally) make it through a book without any disasters...?

We're back in Britain, back to baking, back to a morning record (no grumpy Hannah on gin tins this time, sorry friends) and you bet we're back to a mini disaster or two - but what would a baking book be without one?! This episode, we're discussing the very lovely Nadiya Hussain and her book, Nadiya Bakes, absolutely packed with recipes. But what did we make of it? Listen to find out, and as always, let us know what you think!

Go buy some dill, dust off the millennial dictionary and get those nails done: we're off to Brooklyn again and diving into the cookbooks - yes, plural - of Alison Roman. We're shaking it up this episode by taking a book each so you get more bang for your buck, and we've got lots of things to say. But what's new?

We know lots of you have these books at home so we'd love to hear what you think - let us know on socials @cookbookcircle.
