We're finishing off this season with Doma by Spasia Pandora Dinkovski, which introduces us to the world of Balkan food, and frankly, it's seems like our kinda world. Filo pastry, sparkling water and cheese. What more could you want?!

Dina Macki's first book, Bahari, is a gorgeous deep dive into Omani cuisine and a window into her family's background. The window into our kitchens may show at least one ruined pan, though...

We wouldn't call ourselves particular... except we like gingerbread in the form of cookies and cake, rather than houses and men, ok? We may not have the bells this year as sound effects, but we're still getting festive here at the Cookbook Circle - talking all things Xmas cooking and more specifically, our favourite recipes for gingerbread. Let us know what your favourite is, and critically, if you've made a gingerbread house, do you eat it?!

Molly Baz is BACK. Cukes, Umam and 'za all feature in this one, and if you understand all those letters but not the 'words' then, don't fear the CBC is here. More is More is likely the most maximalist book we've ever covered. Bring your sunglasses!
The books we talked about at the top of the episode were Ramen Forever by Tim Anderson, Bitter by Alexina Anatole and Roast Figs, Sugar Snow by Diana Henry.

Waiting in the queue at to eat at Dishoom would be the perfect place to listen to this bumper episode about the Dishoom cookery book! As Dishoom is one of the most adored restaurants in the UK, we thought we'd tackle this beautiful cookbook (it's also a guide to Bombay!). Tackle being the important word, here. It's quite the journey...

Are we feeling salty or sweet...enough? Following our review of her first two books last season (listen if you haven't already!) it's time to revisit one Alison Roman and her new baking book, Sweet Enough, alongside our usual ramblings - this time about nachos, Jake Cohen and whatever else takes our (nothing) fancy.
We also discussed this piece which we LOVE about random foodie combinations, and we'd love to hear yours:

New(ish) format incoming! There's something so special (and maybe rare) about a book which we both own, like, and cook from regularly, and so we are going to tell you all about these books in our new 'Cookbook Circle recommends...' series. How could we not bring you Ottolenghi for the first?! Let us tell you what we love about Flavour by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage. We'll also tell you which members of Blazin' Squad we loved, so there's something for everyone.
