How To: FIX OTHER COOKBOOK AUTHOR'S MISTAKES

We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough. As veteran cookbook authors, we've been hired to clean up if not completely rewrite cookbooks, replete with wild mistakes and mistaken notions of what people want to cook at home.

We've seen a few big mistakes over the years. Here are our favorites:

About the Podcast

Cooking with Bruce and Mark

Fantastic recipes, culinary science, a little judgment, hysterical banter, love and laughs--you know, life.

Join us, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, for weekly episodes all about food, cooking, recipes, and maybe a little marital strife on air. After writing thirty-six cookbooks, we've got countless opinions and ideas on ingredients, recipes, the nature of the cookbook-writing business, and much more. If you've got a passion for food, we also hope to up your game once and a while and to make you laugh most of the time. Come along for the ride! There's plenty of room!
