Everyone Loves Dorie and her NEW Anytime Cakes!
This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Dorie Greenspan, one of the most beloved and trusted voices in baking. We talk about the decades-spanning body of work that has made Dorie such a constant presence in home kitchens, from her collaborations with icons like Pierre Hermé and Julia Child to the warmth, clarity, and curiosity that define her own books. The conversation invites us into her sweet world and moves through intuition, endurance, recipe writing, family, the choice for a fully illustrated book and the quiet discipline of making people feel cared for through food. And at the very end, Dorie receives a reveal that’s been building quietly across the entire season! LEAVE A COMMENT TO WIN A COPY OF HER NEW BOOK!

A Meaningful Life: Helen Goh on Baking, Ritual and Joy
This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Helen Goh, internationally acclaimed pastry chef, longtime Ottolenghi collaborator, columnist for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian, and author of Baking and the Meaning of Life and Sweet. Featuring 100 recipes that weave together Helen’s Malaysian and Australian heritage with Western and Middle Eastern influences, Baking and the Meaning of Life asks a larger question beneath the recipes: how do we build meaning in our lives? Through eight essays woven throughout the book, Helen explores baking as a practice of mindfulness, agency, competence, ritual, and connection — not simply as a way to make food, but as one of the many small acts that help us create purpose and community in a chaotic world. The conversation moves through her enviable cookbook collection, existentialism, the meanings of color, psychology, flavor, memory, and the quiet rigor behind recipes that feel both deeply comforting and profoundly intentional.Mentioned in this episode:• Baking and the Meaning of Life: How to Find Joy in 100 Recipes• Sweet by Helen Goh and Yotam Ottolenghi• Cooking: Simply and Well, for One or Many by Jeremy Lee• Kate Spade Green• The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book• The Flavor Thesaurus by Niki Segnit• Stars Desserts by Emily Luchetti• Flour Hour Baking Podcast hosted by Jeremiah Duarte Bills and Amanda Faber• Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott• Ma Vie en Rose by Rose Levy Beranbaum• The Artful Baker by Cenk Sonmezsoy• Jikoni by Ravinder Bhogal

Taste and Obsession: Author and Culture Writer Ella Quittner
This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Ella Quittner, author of Obsessed with the Best, to talk about what happens when curiosity meets obsessive recipe testing. Built around dozens of head-to-head comparisons, Ella’s book asks not just what tastes best, but how we arrive there — through repetition, methodology, instinct, and the strange culture of mass food discourse. We discuss the lineage of deeply practical cookbooks, the rise of personality-driven food media, and how humor, rigor, and experimentation can coexist on the same page. We dig into the epic photography in her cookbook, including, a portrait in bed with dessert. And why the perfect whipped cream matters!Mentioned in this episode:• Obsessed with the Best: 100+ Methodically Perfected Recipes Based on 20+ Head-to-Head Tests• Joy of Cooking• The New Basics Cookbook by Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso• The Food Lab by J. Kenji López-Alt• Sweet Enough by Alison Roman• Food Is a Feeling by Carla Lalli Music• Will This Make You Happy by Tanya Bush• Hello, Home Cooking by Ham El-Waylly

Writing with Hunger: Lisa Donovan on Food, Memoir, and Voice
This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Lisa Donovan, James Beard Award–winning author of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger, now widely regarded as one of the definitive food memoirs of our time. We talk about hunger as both subject and structure — emotional, creative, intellectual, and literal — and dig into the discipline of memoir, writing food as personal narrative, and claiming authority in a voice shaped by appetite, loss, labor, and desire. The conversation moves through literary lineage, publishing realities, and why food writing endures when it tells the truth plainly, without performance.Mentioned in this episode:• Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger by Lisa Donovan• David Black Literary Agency• Dear Women: Own Your Stories by Lisa Donovan for Food & Wine• M.

This Will Make You Happy: Tanya Bush on Baking, Failing, and Storytelling
This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Tanya Bush, author of Will This Make You Happy, to talk about baking as a way of moving through a year — emotionally, creatively, and practically. We discuss what it means to write from inside your own life, how recipes can hold both structure and feeling, and how Tanya expands the cookbook form through narrative, gently pushing against its traditional boundaries. We talk about what it means to break the mold without losing usefulness, and why baking often becomes a way to ask questions rather than answer them. The conversation moves between storytelling, routine, and the quiet search for meaning in everyday acts of making.Mentioned in this episode:Will This Make You Happy: Stories and Recipes from a Year of Baking by Tanya Bush“Party Girl” (1995) TrailerBrooks Headley's Fancy Desserts: The Recipes of Del Posto’s James Beard Award–Winning Pastry Chef by Brooks HeadleyCooking As Though You Might Cook Again by Daniel LichtRuby TandohChloe Rose Crabtree, Bake Street LondonOliver Lee Costello, Toad BakeryHome Cooking: A Writer in the Kitchen: A Memoir and Cookbook by Laurie Colwin

Your Favorite Authors Favorite Author: Maria Zizka on Cookbook Collaborations
This week on Kitchen Tape, Rose and Crystal sit down with Maria Zizka to talk about the art of collaboration in cookbook publishing. We dig into Maria’s own canon alongside the many influential books she’s helped bring into the world as a co-author, ghostwriter, and translator — working closely with some of the industry’s most respected voices. From shaping tone and structure to translating vision across cultures, projects, and personalities, Maria shares what it means to be a steady creative partner, how trust is built behind the scenes, and why some of the most enduring cookbooks are the result of deep, generous collaboration rather than singular authorship.
