A few days ago my husband and I attended the PRX (Public Radio Exchange) Christmas party in Harvard Square, Cambridge. It was a lively evening filled with friendly conversations and the familiar feeling of recognizing people you’ve only known by name. I bumped into Robin, a radio producer from Radio Open Source, someone I had emailed once about a show on Europe. After the usual exchanges—“Nice to meet you! I can finally put a face to your email”—our conversation naturally turned to food. It always seems to go that way, which is one reason I’m grateful I have a blog: it gives me an easy way to share culinary obsessions without monopolizing every conversation.
That night felt especially fortunate. As we talked, Robin mentioned an upcoming program: “Wait—next week we’re doing a show about cookbooks.” “Really?” I replied. The show is called A Passion for Cookbooks, and the timing couldn’t have been better. I love cookbooks. Who doesn’t? They combine recipes, stories, history and visuals in a way no other book does. What makes a cookbook memorable? For me, it’s the stories behind the ingredients, clear explanations of the methods, and compelling photography that brings the dishes to life.
