- Excellent and Informative Food History!
Well researched and presented with such diverse and knowledgeable guests, Comfortably Hungry is one of my favourite listens when it comes to my interests, which are food, history, and of course everything in between; what ingredients were popular and not anymore, what family recipes passed from one generation to the next, and what the guests like or dislike! Fantastic. Waiting for the next season!
