In the Stacks Episode 42: The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman

A video book review of The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman. Purchase the book on Bookshop here, and on Amazon here.

"In this poetic tale of recipes for happiness, two sisters share a strong bond despite being so different. Jess is a grad student in philosophy and an eco activist with a radical boyfriend, while Emily, the CEO of a technology company, found her match in an ex-Marine with a company of his own. This book spans coast to coast, the bubble of the dot-com era and the burst, Jewish mysticism and nature as a religion, and food as lifeblood." —Michelle Z. from In the Stacks.tv
