Really enjoy listening to this podcast! I’ve bought 3 different cookbooks that were well loved by Sara and Renee (Six Seasons, Indian Instant Pot, and Vietnamese Food Any Day!!). The honest reviews, including what they loved and what they didn’t, makes it feel as though you’re discussing with...Read full review »

This is the best, most relatable and useful cooking podcast out there. I love every minute and have made so many of the wonderful recipes they’ve discussed. Chef’s kiss!

By far the best podcast. I am a new listener and I am hooked! Still catching up with what I’ve been missing. A big thank you from Ohio.

Sara and Renee, your podcast is one-of-a kind with your honesty, how involved and passionate you get about cookbooks and recipes, and the variety of topics and cookbooks you discuss. I am a greenhorn cook, and you’ve inspired me to try new recipes and cuisines. Your Cookbook Club is also an...Read full review »

Just discovered this podcast and I am loving it. I have most of the cookbooks you have covered and started listening from the beginning. It is so fun to listen and then go back revisit these books.

I just found this podcast a few weeks ago and I’m loving it. Such a great conversational style in sharing perspectives – – thanks so much for taking the time to do this!

I’ve really enjoyed listening to this show. Hearing Renee and Sara talk about cooking gets me excited to cook too, and they give a lot of great recipe ideas.

Love listening to their experience with cook books. Then I know which ones to try to check out from the library and which ones I can skip. Also loving the non cookbook episodes about what they are cooking now and other fun topics. Currently listening to a past one on their favorite cooking tools....Read full review »

I am so glad I found your podcast. I love listening to the details of the recipes you’ve made and hearing about the hits and misses in each one. I’ve tried so many new recipes in the cookbooks I have that you’ve reviewed, and I got some great ideas about no cook meals and holiday meals, and tips...Read full review »

I love this podcast. Sara and Renee are so relatable. As a mom of young kids, I love a podcast by other moms who love to cook but keep things realistic and talk about whether recipes are feasible to throw together on a weeknight. I’ve loved trying the recipes and cookbooks they recommend.

I recently discovered this podcast and have been binge listening! This is a Podcast for working moms who love to cook from scratch and cook from and read cookbooks and who are also mindful of budgets and health. The hosts are very experienced home cooks (as am I) and the structure of the shows is...Read full review »

I look forward to each release! Sara and Renee have such a great, relaxed, informative style! I love reading cookbooks, and this inspires me! I often borrow the books from the library, and it’s fun to compare notes with these ladies.
Nawita Rd. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/23
Love this podcast! I love hearing about all the different cookbooks and food stuff! I love that they are positive and have a great chat but not ramblings into unrelated topics that some podcasts do. Thanks for the great podcast!!
jmooreb via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/19/23
I got hooked back on the Campout Cookbook episode when we were planning our trip out to the Rockies in our pop-up. Since then, I have checked out 90% of the books covered in the podcast from our library and probably ended up purchasing at least 5😂. I have such fun listening to what the successes...Read full review »

I save this podcast as a treat to listen to while cleaning the kitchen or meal prepping, and am so excited every time a new episode is released. Sara and Renee have such an engaging and casual conversation style but still manage to keep every episode jam packed with great tips and information....Read full review »
Ajd2981 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
So much fun listening to these gals dish on their favorite recipes from different cookbooks. Best way to get out of a cooking rut.
Pie-love via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/23
I really like cooking, but most days it’s a real struggle to think about what to cook, much less actually do it. What I love about Cookbook Club is that Sara and Rene are not shy about opening up their cooking lives for listeners. Dealing with allergies and picky eaters, figuring out how to...Read full review »

Before I had kids, I loved cooking for hours. Listening to this podcast is my way to stay connected to the feeling of joy even when reheating leftovers. I’ve picked up many great tips and found myself listening more just to hear the journeys of the hosts go through a huge variety of cookbooks...Read full review »

Great for any home cook- experienced to beginner. The food talk is full of ideas about how to manage a home kitchen. I love how they talk about their lives (different diets, cooking week nights, etc) and how that influence how they cook at home.
Kristin Pool Cohen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/23
I literally alter my exercise plans when a new episode comes out. Makes my walks/runs go by so much faster! Keep up the great work. Have you done a pizza episode yet? Because if not what are you waiting for? ❤️
knd456789 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/23
My daughter recommended this podcast and now I tell everyone about it! What a fun take on cooking. I never thought of try it before you buy it idea. Keeps my bookshelves from exploding with cookbooks I rarely use. I look forward to every episode! Great work ladies!
n_reiser via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/23
Discovered this podcast because the apple podcast algorithm (I guess algorithms are not all bad) recommended it. This podcast is a REVELATION…full of pragmatic reviews and tips, lively, funny, cheerful and inclusive! I am almost done binging the entire catalog and done if them I’ll listen to...Read full review »

I find myself wishing I could drive down to Portland to joint their monthly cookbook club. The podcast has a great conversational style that sounds like 2 friends sitting down over a cup of coffee talking about cookbooks, food, and great meals. Who wouldn’t want to join them? I love listening to...Read full review »

I discovered this podcast one night when I couldn’t sleep. I listened to episode after episode that night-it’s that good. I borrow your upcoming cookbooks from the library and it’s been so fun to discover new to me cookbooks. I really do look forward to each episode!
loughrandw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/23
I love the authenticity of these ladies. Honest, thorough reviews. Make a cup of coffee and settle in for a listen, it’s like spending time with your besties. Xx
Burners1 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/01/23
Great podcasting voices - every time you say "so good" it SOUNDS so good. The category episodes like vacation meals are also a gem and very practical. Love the simple final conclusion of "keep or return" and not some complex categorical rating system like other cookbook reviewers...Read full review »
NeverAReviewer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/22
Love it! Great chemistry, practical advice, interesting discussion… I enjoy listening while waiting for my kids to fall asleep, and find the voices very soothing. I think I’ve listened to each episode twice already since I found the show, and the only other podcast I’ve ever done that with is...Read full review »
Sytnik1989 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/22
Sara and Renee are the two hosts of this podcast, but they are also members of a cookbook club of about a dozen women who meet monthly to share and discuss foods from that month’s chosen cookbook, and this is one of the podcast’s strengths. You don’t just get two perspectives or experiences with...Read full review »

I love your podcast! I found it as I was hunting for a cooking podcast. Your show ticked all the boxes: smart, funny and entertaining. I have just started joining you by borrowing the featured cookbook from my local library to cook along. I loved Now and Again by Julia Turshen! Looking forward to...Read full review »
Beaudinbabe via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/12/22
This podcast is the fresh breeze that blew all of the uber religious, ultra conservative, judgy cooking/homesteading podcasts out of my listening rotation. The cookbook and recipe recommendations are thoughtful and spot on. Listen to this podcast if you enjoy cooking, eating, or just listening to...Read full review »

I love this podcast and can’t wait for each episode to drop. I have a slight cookbook obsession, so they are speaking my love language. The hosts are really fun and knowledgable and get me really excited to try all kinds of new recipes. I get inspired each time I listen. So awesome!
Alisonjazzer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/22
I love hearing these women talk about the interesting things they are cooking, and they inspire me to be more adventurous. I’ve made several of the recipes because they describe them so deliciously I have to try it myself. Summer strawberry cake I’ve made 3 times! My only complaint is that you...Read full review »

I found this show on Spotify (looking for reviews of Six Seasons) and now I’m listening to all the episodes at a very rapid pace! I’m definitely a fan. It’s a very sophisticated take on home cooking. A perfect middle ground between the professional food journalists and chefs and the goofy...Read full review »

I’m new to Cookbook Club, and I’m so happy to have found it. Sarah and Renee are obviously excellent and experienced home cooks, and they are fearless about trying interesting and varied cookbooks. I love the way they talk about the various cultures they encounter through the cookbooks — always...Read full review »

Cooking shows are my go-to watch, as they remind me of my grandpa and I love to hear people talking about things they love! I’ve recently taken up running and I’ve been searching for a podcast that gives me those same happy, comfy feelings when I’m feeling anything but. The Cookbook Club has...Read full review »

Just discovered this podcast and am binging all. They are down to earth and make me fool good about my daily meal planning dilemmas. I’m not alone.
See Jane Illinois via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/22
I’ve learned so much about cooking at home from listening to each episode. Several of my favorite episodes hold up well for multiple listens. This is a smart and fun way to learn some new skills in the kitchen. Thank you to the two hosts and their guests!
DeeHorses via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/22
I love this podcast! As a home cook I really appreciate the tips and recommendations from these similar home cooks. We cook from the same books, enjoy similar foods, and share common cooking frustrations or challenges. I’m always excited for the next episode to come out. Keep up the excellent work!
robcamden1987 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/22
I’ve tried several other cookbook podcasts, but I like this one best. First, I love that the focus is on the recipes rather than the author. Secondly, I love that the hosts cram SO much helpful information into each episode - I always feel like I come away with so much new knowledge and...Read full review »
shebow001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/22
This episode was so informative, many good ideas were shared. I like taking part in meal trains, and I will certainly refer to the references listed. In general, I feel like I’m sitting with a group of friends while listening to the pod casts. Well done!!

Listening to this podcast feels like you’re part of your own cooking club. I love hearing the tips, faves and flops, and modifications to fit various dietary needs.
