Welcome to Cookbook Club! We are diving in to Six Seasons, a huge tome of recipes from “the vegetable whisperer,” chef Joshua McFadden, with Martha Holmberg. We talk about our favorite go-tos from the book, whether a chef-written cookbook is harder to cook from and we touch on the controversy surrounding McFadden.
