I'm not a podcast person but I caught up with this because I find the subject fascinating. I loved it, thank you!!! I'm one who really appreciates a well-tested recipe and I respect the work the authors put into recipe development in the same way that I respect the work chefs put into preparing food at a restaurant. I'm not a fan of comments like 'well I didn't make your recipe, I did something completely different and I think my version is great'. Good for you. When I buy a cookbook (or dine out), I'm paying you to tell me what YOU, the author or chef think, not for you to listen to how I think you should have done it. Ok, rant over! Thanks again for a great listen!

Hah. I have ranted on these very same subjects. I know there have been some funny posts about people who change recipes. We have to have a sense of humor about it, I guess. I'm just glad I don't go through what David has, where he spends a lot of time on his recipes and people change them. And then the coup de grace is when they say the recipe didn't work!

Great listen and encapsulates what I like about your books/Insta/writing - authenticity and honesty

Enjoyed the chat. I’m sticking to my trusted recipe sources. Chat GBT is not welcome in my kitchen anytime soon. Who can you blame when the recipe fails?
