    I love this podcast so much! I’m home recuperating from surgery and listening to so many episodes. I love the affection between the two hosts - such a beautiful rapport and they always give each other the space to talk. Great depth of knowledge and inspirational recipes. I’m vegetarian and there’s lots for me too. I love all the tips too. I really do feel like their food friend!

  • Phenomenal

    Exactly the type of food podcast I was looking for. The hosts are so genuine and sincere. Nice, easy listening.

    I love when Sonia opens the episode and she talks as low and slow and soft as possible. It's almost like she's trying to speak as low and deeply as she possibly can. I've never heard anything like it.
