Joel, you’re a natural in front of the camera. Thanks for stepping in while Greg is recuperating. Good to know that he’s on the mend. Your cookbook collection is impressive (as are your stories) and your Italian ceramic dinnerware is beautiful. I couldn’t help but smile at the “Ti amo, bello” Post-it note.🥰 I’d like to see a “Baking with Joel” video some day.🍰
We’ll have to get a baking video going soon!
A baking video may happen, thank you
I'll drink (limoncello) to that!@@joelmcclanahan9004
Get your bundts in the kitchen, fellas!@@SupposedlyFun
Lemoncello may have to happen! 🍋
I loved this little tour! Thanks to you and Teddy for filling in today. Wishing Greg a quick recovery! ❤
Thank you!
Thank you.
Awesome video! Joel, I loved seeing your cookbook collection. Thanks for the stories and personal memories you shared. It really brought the collection to life. A pat and a scritch to Teddy and a speedy recovery to Greg.
Thank you
Thank you Joel (and Teddy) for this lovely tour!. I confess I'm more of a baker than a cook but the beauty of these books is inspiring. And the dishes are gorgeous!
Thank you! Baking is a great hobby to help relax
Beautiful job, Joel. What a wonderful collection! Hope Greg is feeling better each day! Hugs to Teddy! 😊
Thank you! He is doing better
@@joelmcclanahan9004 Glad to hear it! 😊
Great bookshelf tour! You're a great video presenter, Joel. Teddy, too. I liked seeing more if your house and "behind the scenes" home life. Now I want a Tina Turner pan and fondue for dinner. 😄 Get well, Greg!🤕🤒❤
We do meet to do another tour!
I’ll talk to Greg!
Great video! Thanks to you and Teddy for sharing your collection! All the best to Greg for a quick recovery! ✨
Thank you
What a lovely surprise!!! You can really notice Joel's great knowledge. And he is just such a charmer. 😉
And I love to see the snow through the windows in the background. ☃️
Hope you will be fully recovered soon, Greg!
Thank you. It was a very cold day.
Thank you so much for a look at your bookshelf. You are a joy to watch. Did you know, on camera at least, that your beard color and Teddy’s fur are the same color? Love it
Thank you. All 3 dogs and I have #MatchingMuzzles. 🤣
Would love to hear more about some of the things you like to cook/bake, maybe some fun discoveries, or stories about dishes and a pan even deeper dive into some of the cookbooks. Great job and camera work!
Each day or every hour that passes Greg, you are that much closer to full recovery. 🤧
Thank you, that is a fun idea.
This was so enjoyable! It had me picturing themed meals around my favorite reads, like old amc dinner and a movie vibes 😅so lovely Joel! Get well soon Greg.
I love a good themed meal
Thanks, Joel and Teddy!🌷loved this video! More, please!
They did a great job!
I’ll work on it ! Thanks
I hate cooking and baking, yet absolutely watched this video with fascination. Great job Joel!
Thank you
What! You went to Italy and didn’t tell us?! 😂😂 It’s a fantastic collection Joel! I have decluttered most of my books and switched to Google but thinking of it, I really should do a book of our favorites for my son to enjoy when I’m gone… Greg is very lucky! Hope he’s feeling well! 💐
Thank you, I should declutter more, but it is hard, thanks for watching
Loved your bookshelf tour, Joel. What a great collection of cookbooks! I used to have a closet full of cookbooks but thinned them out as I moved into a smaller place last year. Now I want to re-build my stash starting with the Book of Pie.
Book of pie is amazing! Cakes and pies are so fun to experiment with!
Thanks, Joel and Teddy; this is really fun. A whole shelf of chocolate cookbooks, be still my heart! Your whole collection is awesome and I enjoyed the stories and tips, too.
thank you, my next endeavor, it to master basic chocolates.
This is the content we want. Joel Stans we are winning in 2024 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you. I really do not want my own cooking channel, but it is fun to help Greg, but hate to take away from the folks who want "Just Books"
oh this was a treat! thank you for the insight into your shelves, some excellent stories & all the recommendations🤩📚
Thank you
Wow! That's a LOT of cookbooks! The only place I've seen more in one spot is at Barnes & Noble, LOL! Impressive collection!!!
Thank you
You went to Italy?! You shouldn’t keep something like that a secret! 😂 I loved this video. It was so good to hear you talking about the cookbooks you turn to regularly. You did a great job, Joel (and Teddy!).
Thank you. We are not good with secrets, hahahah
Speedy recovery wishes for Greg ❤ Impressive cookbook collection! Would love to see another baking video someday 😊
That could happen, Thank you
"And here's the pan I made Bananas Foster for Tina Turner in." 🤯
Joel! This was an awesome video. Loved the cookbook tour and the peek into your kitchen. That book from Jen the Librarian fell open to a recipe for one of my favorite dishes: cotechino con lenticche. It is a traditional New Year's Day dish. You should try making it (although I'm guessing you might have a challenge sourcing cotechino in Montana).
Great job! Hope Greg is doing well today.
Nina xo
I’ll look into the Cotechino, it sounds wonderful! If not, I’ll just have to take Greg back to Italy! Thank you for the kind words.
@@joelmcclanahan9004 I like your backup plan. Good thinking! 🇮🇹
Loved the cookbook/kitchen tour! Impressive shelves but I must confess that pan you cooked Bananas Foster for Tina Turner? OMG!
Speedy recovery for Greg💜 Joel, have you thought about doing a cooking video/vlog of a favorite recipe?😃
Thanks for the kind words!
No, I’ve not thought about it! It’s fun to do special segments for Greg but doing it full time would be incredibly hard, I see how much time spends on books and cooking would be that much more and my full time job keeps me busy! But thanks for the encouraging words, maybe someday! ❤
And yes my copper pan is a prized possession.
I read Elephant in the Garden upon watching one of your videos. Had never heard of it but it is now one of my favorites and recommending to everyone. Loved it. Thank you.
so glad you enjoyed it, it is a wonderful story. Thank you
I really enjoyed looking at all the different cookbooks you have. What a delight. I hope Greg feels much better really soon. Thank you Joel and Teddy!!!
Slowly recovering, but it’s a slow process. Thank you!
Thank you!
This was great but now I'm hungry and want Italian food and tons of baked goods. Great to see Teddy & Joel!
Sorry not sorry. 😉
Thank you!
Joel - you and Teddy did a wonderful job - enjoyed the tour - you had me at cookbooks.
I love cookbooks - I will often read a cookbook like others read novels. I make corn & blueberry muffins. Plan to give your chocolate cake a try. Italian food is my favourite - Amalfi lemons are so amazing. The Land Where Lemons Grow: The Story of Italy and Its Citrus Fruit by Helena Attlee is ticking my boxes these days - lemons, Italian food, and recipes - couldn't ask for more. Thank you for an interesting an informative video. Hope Greg has a speedy recovery.
That book sounds amazing, I'll look for it. Thank you. I will have to make a month of reading FOOD books. Fun idea, thanks
Another recommend - maybe. Eating to Extinction by Dan Saladino. It was an impulse buy - title and cover attraction. there are 10 sections - each about a different food group. It lived on my shelf for a bit - but once I read it it went straight to the top of my list (in January) and stayed there all year - truth be told it is still on the top of best ever books. Warning it is not for everyone. No recipes - but covers the history of the food item - how it changed over the years - what replaced it in everyday life.
If you do a month of reading about food - count me in!@@joelmcclanahan9004
I sure did enjoy that! I love the personal references to your history of cooking and where you got the cookbooks. Did you really go to Italy? Haha! Love that you both keep bringing it up! You are so sweet to be making blondies for Greg. I hope he is able to keep ahead of any pain that he is feeling.
Thank you, Greg did enjoy the blondies.
As someone with only 5 cookbooks, this video was a revelation - might need to get me some more! Thanks for the great video, Joel. Glad Greg is making good progress - all the best.
thank you, Books are fun, but the internet has a lot too, just be cautious of which websites, some that pop up on the top search are horrible. Good Luck
What an amazing cookbook collection! Thanks Joel!
Thank you
This was just such a treat! I absolutely love bookshelf tours. I’ve never seen a cookbook bookshelf tour. I sometimes enjoy cooking but struggle finding recipes. I hate to spend time and money cooking something from a recipe only to find out it’s not spectacular, so it’s nice to hear your recommendations. It would be fun to see a video where you cook something inspired by a book you and/or Greg has read (include the book review as well!). And then show us the cookbook the recipe was from. Greg, I hope you’re not uncomfortable and you recover quickly. Thanks for this video, guys!
That is a great idea to cook from a book. One thing I will say about getting recipes online is to make sure they are reputable sites, so many are not tested and fail, which hurts the wallet and self-esteem (personal experience). For cooking look at Milk Street and baking King Arthur. Thank you
Loved this so much! Thanks for sharing Joel! Now I want blondies 😭 lol also made bananas foster for Tina Turner? Big flex! 👏🏼 feel better soon Greg!
thank you
wonderful tour! Love all those cookbooks and the stories behind them.
Thank you!
I just gained 20 lbs watching! Great job. Wishing Greg a quick recovery.
Thank you.
I do have one question-When’s dinner? 😊.
This was absolutely delightful. Thank you so much for letting us snoop through your bookshelves. What a charming collection and cooking space. So much love & joy there. You’ve inspired me for my own kitchen. Love the framed menus and bundt pans. Sending healing vibes to Greg. Scritches to Teddy.
Dinners at 6! 😂 Thank you!
I do love my collection of useful items. Thank you for the kind words
Loved this video! It was like I could smell something delicious baking in the oven while Joel was sharing his passion. I really want to start a collection of beautiful cookbooks….I just learned how to cook chicken like, 2 months ago (I’m 38 😅) and now I think I’m this culinary genius apparently lol. Seeing his collection really propelled that desire 💛
Love those dishes…I love anything with lemons on them! Would also like to start a collection of that 🤑
(Btw, we miss you Greg but Joel has it covered!)
Thank you. Lemons are amazing. Eating, smelling, looking, they are the best. 🍋🍋🍋
OMG, I have to try that chocolate almond cake! Thanks, Joel! 😁
Its really good.
This is so much fun! Glad to hear Greg is doing well!
Thank you
Well done Joel and Teddy 😊!! Greg, hope your recovery is going well 🙏😘
Thank you
Thanks for sharing your passion and gems with us Joel! x
thank you
What a wonderful video today! Joel you did awesome and as always it's nice to see Teddy! Now that is a cookbook collection! It was nice to see some of your favorites. Greg continue with your recovery taking the time you need.❤ I hear it can be pretty uncomfortable at first. Take care and look forward to more videos
thank you. Teddy and I had fun.
I loved this! Thank you so much! My husband has made me, well, let's just say "consolidate" my cookbook collection, so I've been using my library to find new ones. You have just filled up my request list!
Thank you, internet is good tool too, just be very cautious, that there are reputable sites, too many untested and fake recipes out there I love Milk Street, King Arthur, and NYT Cooking.
Thank you
❤Thanks Joel & Teddy (Greg too!) for an interesting and mouth watering post! ❤
I loved their tour!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching.
Well done, Joel and Teddy! Thanks for the cake recipe- it looks delicious! Hope Greg's recovery is going well. ☺
Thank you
Well, I absolutely adored this. I have a shelf of cookbooks, too, and it’s so interesting to see what other home chefs have on their shelfs! (I also was gobsmacked when you dropped those casual little references about being Curtis Stone’s sous chef and making bananas foster for TINA…I’m sorry, WHAT? That’s amazing!) Also..that Pasta book…my lawd. 😂
Loved the tour and loved getting to spend a few minutes with you (and Teddy) today! Hope Greg is on the mend!
Thank you. I have other stories, but they were the highlights. And, yes, that pasta book. Thank you
Now I'm preparing to gain 20 pounds as I put some of these cookbooks on hold at the library 😂 Great video! Lots of love to you all from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
Thanks, it is a dangerous hobby
@@joelmcclanahan9004 Do you have a favorite pizza recipe? I am curious about crusts with cornmeal in it.
@@AntisocialAuntie I cheat, we have an amazing bakery here that make pizza crust, so I buy them. Sometimes I refer to Paul Hollywood for some breads.
@@joelmcclanahan9004 HAHAHA!!! I love that you cheat. I cheat as often as possible so there's more time for movie night. Take care!
Hey Joel. Thanks for the tour. I hope Greg recovers fully. Pets and Lovins to Teddy.
Thank you
Love this tour - look forward to more on cookery books! You have BIY by Richard Burr - so do I! He was on the great British Bakeoff some years ago,
one of my favs. Thank you
Thanks, Joel, this was fun to see! And thanks for the cookbook recommendations. (I wish my husband cooked, Greg is a lucky man!) I especially loved seeing the note from Greg. When Greg talked about the notes you leave each other I actually teared up, it’s just so sweet. ❤
I’m going to order Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, it looks like an interesting read (and I love the pictures.) I need to eat a restricted diet due to End Stage Renal Disease, and everything tastes so bland, I’m trying to find no-salt solutions.
I hope Greg continues to heal quickly, I’ve been thinking about him. Thanks again for jumping in this week to give me my Supposedly Fun fix! Happy cooking to you!
Thank you. So Netflix has a movie on Sat, Fat, Acid, Heat. I'm sorry your health is restricting you from eating, but there are some good solutions out there to help. Thank you for your kind words,
Loved it all! Thank you! Speedy recovery to Gregg! ❤
Thank you
Fabulous stand-ins for Greg today! Joel, how do you make blondies as interesting and tasty as brownies? I don’t think I’ve ever had a really yummy blondie. Thanks for the great book shelf tour!
I have struggled with Blondies, but I used Duff Goldman's recipe, they were really good, but not great...still searching. Thank you for the kind words
Loved the video! Thanks!💕
Thank you
Thanks Joel - loved it! I always enjoy a peak at others’ cookbook shelves as I have a cookbook fetish myself. It would be fun to have episodes with you cooking out of your favorites. 😁
We will look into that. Thank you
مكتبة السرور 🤩عقبال ما اعمل حقتي كمان عليك العافية يا جريجوري
Awww, love this! Great library tour, Joel! Everyone is so excited about Tina, but I'm over here geeking out about Alex Guarnaschelli and Fannie Flagg! 💚 Did you make the fried green tomatoes? I tried but messed them up somehow. 🤷🏻♀️ (I love Tina, too, of course.) Glad to see Teddy, and sending healing over to Greg. Ok, question: do you have a recommendation for a great vegan cookbook?
Thank you. Alex was a delight. I am sorry, I really am unfamiliar with Vegan cookbooks.
Very fun! If you haven't read My Life in France (audiobook) by Julia Child, I highly recommend it for you. Its such an engaging story infused with good cooking stories. Also if you find yourself in VT, be sure to visit King Arthur Flour. Its worth the trip. Thanks and give Greg our well-wishes.
Thank you. I love Julia's Book, which I read last year. I used to spend a lot of time in VT but failed to make it to King Arthur, I kick myself for that. But in Manchester, VT, there is a great cooking store JK Adams, very fun.
also in Manchester Northshire Bookstore, Greg's Heaven.❤
Omg! This is so cute i love milk street!
Milk Street is awesome. I need more of them.
Loved this.Thank you x
Thank you
I can recommend the Italian cookbook published by Phaidon Press: The Silver Spoon. It is very comprehensive!
I have just culled my cookbook collection (for space reasons) and this is one of about 10 that I had to keep. I also kept Three Good Things by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Japanese Home Cooking by Yoshihiro Murata.
I loke the silver spoon, the other sound really interesting. Thank you
This was wonderful! 😅
Thank you
This was really fun!
Teddy and I had fun too, thank you
What a delightful cookbook tour!! Have you ever read The Lost Kitchen by Erin French? She has an interesting history and restaurant model. There is also a reality series about her restaurant.
The lost kitchen sounds interesting! Thanks
That was fun! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Loved this video! I'm fairly new to this channel and had no idea Joel was a chef.
than you. I have a degree, but it is more of a hobby now
Great cookbook collection!
Thank you
So delightful
Thank you
Loved this video you did a great job Joel! One of my intentions for 2024 is to enhance my cooking skills. I am inspired!! Do you have any recommendations for books about working with spices and herbs? I really want to elevate the my knowledge about which spices/herbs are complementary when cooking and baking. Wishing you a smooth recovery Greg. 💖
Thank you. I tried to send links but RUclips did not like that, so here are my thoughts without links.
Herb & Spices by Jill Norman (I own this one)
Spices & Herbs by Padma Lakshmi (I trust her a lot)
Start Here by Sohla El-Waylly (to help with cooking and techniques)
Happy Cooking
I hope someone has little Howies fun house the great reading adventure
What a nice little tour! I heard you say a couple of things that really made me sit up.....i was born and raised in KCMO, and i now live in the western suburbs of the KC metro (on the Kansas side of the metro). Sounded like you said you were from Kansas! Are you a professional chef? Thanks again for the tour of your book shelves!
Yes, I am from Kansas, went to culinary school at Johnson County CC, and worked at the Alameda Plaza (Where I cooked for Tina), I try to explain to Greg how gorgeous The Plaza used to be at Christmas, sad they did not keep it up. Not cooking professionally anymore, just at home.
What a delight! Loved this! Thanks for the cookbook tour! Have you watched the Tucci Italy show *good recipes in his book too?
Thank you. We do watch Tucci, Searching for Italy, and working on his new one soon. I love him. I really want to make Tucci's Timpano sometime.
Great tour of your cookbook! Can you recommend the best book on chocolate?
I do not have a favorite go to, the cooking with chocolate by Valentina chocolate that is faced out on my shelf is a good one I like.
Thanks for the kind words
This was so much fun! You have a really impressive cookbook collection. And -gasp- you've cooked for Tina Turner. That's wild!
I'm a bit afraid to ask this, because the last time I asked this question in an online group I think I almost started a war between Texas and Georgia, and I'm not entirely sure you're allowed to even answer unless you're from the right part of the US, but can you help a European out with a good cornbread recipe? 😅 Mainly to be eaten with chili con carne, so not the sweet kind. And I mean cornbread for dummies here, like I need to know what colour and coarseness corn flour. 😬 Whenever I've looked for a recipe I've found brand names that just aren't available to me. Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi? 😂
I'm a Kansas Boy with Oklahoma roots. I love cornbread (It's even a nickname for me in some kitchens).
So here is my goto cornbread, you can omit the sugar if you do not want it to be sweet, honey can help carry it.
I use fine cornmeal or Blue cornmeal (sometimes both, make 2 half batches and swirl it together for a marble effect).
The biggest thing is not to overmix it. - Good Luck and Happy Baking.
Cornbread’s Cornbread
From Joel McClanahan
Ingredients
4 each egg
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup honey
2 cups cornmeal can use regular or blue cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick of butter melted, 2 if you want decadent
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk eggs, honey, and milk in a small bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- The step above is very important!
- You need your dry ingredients to be fully incorporated, this will be the only time they get mixed.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the dry, and whisk vigorously for about 10 seconds until the flour is moistened. If it looks lumpy, that is OK. Having a lumpy batter is better than overworked dough, which will cause the cornbread to be dense.
- Add the melted butter (you can use 1 stick, but the more the better) and whisk vigorously for another 10 seconds, then fold with a spatula if needed.
- Pour into a prepared 9x13 pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.

@@joelmcclanahan9004 Thank you so much for the step by step instructions! Can't wait to try out the recipe. 😁
@@TheLeniverse Fantastic, let me know how it turns out and if you like it.
@@joelmcclanahan9004 One more question though. You wrote "4 each egg". Did you mean to put a particular egg size? 😅
@@TheLeniverse Sorry, in the state the typical baking egg size is Large, 45ml. Hope that helps
If your collection is any indication, you are a man who takes chocolate seriously. Here's a question: do you use recipes that don't have pictures with them? I have such difficulty if I can't visualise what I'm trying to make.
I like a photo to let me know what it is supposed to look like, but rarely follow them. I like photos for step-by-step items that are difficult.
Wait! Joel is an actual chef? I thought cooking was a hobby for him.😮
Joel was actually working as a pastry chef when I met him!
A past life I worked in hotels, catering and small restaurants! Now I bake for family and friends! ❤
Great video!
Surely you don’t want only anti-trump followers. I like Trump. But I like you, Greg & Teddy too.
Of course we don't only want followers of a certain political persuasion. But Joel and I do believe in conscious consumerism (choosing to make an effort to put our money toward people/companies who will do good and away from ones who will do harm). I think it’s important to help other people make similar informed decisions about how they spend their money and their energy. That’s why I won’t tell people not to read books by J.K. Rowling or Margaret Mitchell, for example, but I will ask people to reflect on the genuinely harmful things they have done to certain communities. Donald Trump is the same, although I would argue that he has harmed multiple communities (not just one) and actively worked to damage our democratic institutions. Sometimes, he does these things directly and sometimes he does them indirectly-like how he helped make Montana a more dangerous state for the LGBTQ+ community by campaigning for (and helping elect) a Trump loyalist as governor here-a man who, among many other things, has undone legal protections for LGBTQ+ people. This is a man who has publicly (and against the wishes of his own nonbinary child) waged war against gay rights. And he is endorsed and supported by Trump. So Joel and I are very conscious that we don’t want to financially support Donald Trump, and I do hope that people who agree would also be careful not to support him.
I appreciate your support and that you like me, Joel, and Teddy. But I can only be honest about the damage Donald Trump and his cronies have done for families like ours. If they had their way, we wouldn’t be a family at all.
@@SupposedlyFun ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@SupposedlyFun Joel and I are the same. Both minority on sites we like. Overlooking the politics/leaving it out and enjoying the cooking and books we like. What I should have said is -it wouldn’t be offending us all, Joel. ❤️&respect.
