Anything’s Pastable 4 | A Cookbook Is Born
In the final episode of “Anything’s Pastable,” the recipes are done — but they’re all in Google Docs. Now Dan has to bring them together into an actual book, with a cohesive visual style. So he hires an art director who scours flea markets for just the right props to bring the book’s personality to life. Then Dan heads to the Bay Area for the photo shoot, which means cooking nearly every recipe from the book one last time.
Customer Reviews
Love the Sporkful!
Dan is funny, thoughtful, perceptive and great to listen to. I look forward to listening every week!

Very interesting deep dive into the cookbook creation. Dan maybe next time don’t interview your family, they seem to like to drag you down.
No ton of fun
I know money is important but this podcast is so ridden with commercials I have just lost interest.
