  • I Wish I Could Be a Guest!

    Warm, engaging and inspiring!

    Kate and Mark are so generous, so intelligent, and so attuned to their guests. I just listened to the Alice Waters episode from this week, and was delighted to hear her mention peaches that I used to buy in Northern California. I’m so very grateful to have dined at Chez Panisse, more than once, while I lived nearby! This is really the only podcast I listen to, and I don’t skip it! I always learned something, and I love the end tag of what did you have for dinner.

  • We Need You!

    As a healthcare provider, I so appreciate your podcasts that address food from a health and …dare I say political!-perspective. If we think this current political environment is focused on our health and the good of citizens- we need to think again. We are ALL in this together, and we ALL need to start speaking up as citizens who care about the future of our nation. Thanks again for what you do!

He just kind of was curious; it's about finding activities that keep him off his iPad, like cracking eggs or making cookies.
Everybody Loves Kyle (MacLachlan)
