The art of the recipe: Gravestones, fictional worlds, and cookbooks (of course)

We talk with someone who makes recipes found on gravestones, and we consider what makes an effective recipe, the history of the modern recipe, and the art of the recipe introduction. Plus, a look at the phenomenon of pop culture cookbooks.
