Ruby Tandoh is a writer and baker based in London. A finalist on season four of The Great British Bake Off, she’s written several smart and singular books, including the fantastic new book All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now. It’s an incredible exploration of taste as a social construct that traces the historic and cultural context behind contemporary food culture. Today on the show, we go deep on Ruby’s research and reporting process, plus her take on where we’re at in food culture today.
Also on the show Aliza and Matt talk about some exciting fall cookbooks landing in bookstores soon. These include: Linger: Salads, Sweets and Stories to Savor: A Cookbook, Measure with Your Heart: Southern Home Cooking to Feed Your Family and Soul, Padma’s All American: Tales, Travels, and Recipes from Taste the Nation and Beyond, Good Things, Bad Bitch In the Kitchen, Something from Nothing, Everything’s Good: Cozy Classics You’ll Cook Always and Forever.
