This week, it’s just Rose and Crystal — and the tables are turned. Before we grill more guests about their cookbook journeys, we put each other in the hot seat. The conversation runs from Ben Mims’ Crumbs to Caroline Eden’s Black Sea, from Ina Garten and Cedric Grolet to NOMA and Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play. It’s part love letter, part confession, and all obsession — about the cookbooks that shaped us, haunted us, and made Rose want to write her own.
