About this listen

Episode 1: Meet the Joy of Cooking Podcast hosts in our first episode. Self-published by Irma Rombauer in 1931, the Joy of Cooking is more than a cookbook; it's an American culinary institution. The Rombauer-Becker family’s reliable recipes have guided generations of home cooks for almost a century. Today, the book’s legacy lives on through Irma’s great-grandson, John Becker, and his wife, Megan Scott. Based in Portland, Oregon, they are the fourth-generation stewards of this beloved classic, having authored its latest edition. As they write the next chapter of the Joy of Cooking and launch The Joy of Cooking Podcast, John and Megan set the table with their co-host and friend Shannon Larson to discuss Joy of Cooking recipes and stories, kitchen victories and miseries, and, most importantly, what they are all cooking and eating. Join us at the table for a casual culinary chat about eggplant.
