  • “Chefs”???

    Faced with a 12 Hour Car drive with my cat, I decided to look for a good podcast to occupy my time.

    I was so excited to find food friends!!!

    I have been cooking for my family for over 50 years. I always dreaded day-to-day cooking but loved cooking for special occasions.

    Now that I’m retired, I am really getting into cooking for pleasure, but I don’t think I have what it takes to go to culinary school at my age.

    This podcast boasted the stars are chefs! Oh boy, I’m gonna learn some tricks... more
