The Dinner Plan podcast, Prime Day next week, EYBD Previews and more

Maggie Hoffman has dropped a new podcast called The Dinner Plan. This podcast offers cooking inspiration for wherever you are in life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a time-strapped professional, an empty nester, feeding a houseful, or just making sure you actually eat something day after day: figuring out what’s for dinner can be exhausting. She will be talking with cookbook authors about about the recipes they actually make again and again, what helps them feel inspired in the kitchen, and what you can cook with what’s in your fridge right now. This sounds like a great podcast to couple with Eat Your Books – search those ingredients in your fridge on EYB and find a wealth of recipes to try!

Right now there are two episodes up: Caroline Chambers, the Queen of Easy Weeknight Dinners and The Flavor-Packed Sauce Betty Liu Puts on Every Vegetable. I love Caroline and Betty and their cookbooks are fantastic. The next episode will drop on October 11th and will feature Joe Yonan. You can subscribe to the podcast at Spotify or Apple podcasts and be sure to sign up for The Dinner Plan Substack – it is free – for recipe links, cookbook recommendations, and full recipe excerpts!
