Look at this! Jenny E. on Cooking the Books with Emily Gould!
(Also, I am going to state publicly that it’s a fantasy of mine to be on this show and cook with Emily and cook my book.)
Recently on Cooking the Books we had “A Visit from the Macaroon Squad” with “A Visit From The Goon Squad” author Jennifer Egan. We talked about how, when you’re reading a book with many characters and plotlines and worlds, you’re sometimes “waiting for your favorite.” One of the reasons why AVFTGS is such a remarkable book is that you’re never tempted to skim for the reappearance of a character you’d liked, but when that character does eventually reappear it’s unexpected, yet makes perfect sense. Also, this is a book that made me cry via a description of public oral sex.
Anyway, this video will teach you how to make macaroons.
Also please note the new opening credits sequence! Cooking the Books Season 2!
