Recap / The Goldbergs S 6 E 18 The Beverly Goldberg Cookbook

Go To

A Plot: Inspired by Julia Child, Beverly mails manuscripts of her cookbook (created in the previous episode) to publishers, only to be rejected because they think that her cooking is "awful." Adam decides to help Beverly film a public access television show in the kitchen just like The French Chef so Beverly could promote her book.

B Plot: Murray helps Barry when he ruins his college recommendations letter.


  • Brief Accent Imitation: Bev briefly imitates Julia Child while doing her cooking show.
  • Performance Anxiety: Bev and Adam go to a public access TV studio to do a cooking show. Adam, despite having acted in dozens of his own videos, gets stage fright when facing the TV cameras and completely freezes up. After a few minutes, he finally faints.
  • Speak of the Devil: There's a Running Gag that whenever anyone says "college", Murray appears seemingly out of nowhere. This leads to a gag where Erica has to mute out each instance of the word college, which then appears subtitled, in a long speech where it's used repeatedly.
  • This Is My Side: Barry and Erica divide their dorm with tape after they've been driving each other crazy. Unfortunately, Erica's side is the one with the door.
