  • A total fan

    Good food is one of the few podcasts i can listen to in these dark times. Evans show is always the best of radio. Comes from many directions and covers areas of interest that i may not have been aware of.

    I love evans voice and appreciate her warm approach with guests. Love her choice of guests and the books she exposes us to. We are so lucky to have this quality of radio available to us.

  • Cancel the host?

    Can’t believe the host, Evan, was recently promoting a total predator, Rene Redzepi, when the info about his misbehavior has been out there for many years! While pretending to be ‘woke’ this Karen is complicit in his crimes by promoting him and should be cancelled immediately unless she demonstrates true contrition by giving her hosting job to a person of color immediatelly who doesn’t share in her white priviledge! ! Otherwise she is just performatively woke and should be cancelled immediately!... more

  • Vegetable Gardens

    In late 1958 my parents bought their first home in a block and half subdivision built on a former walnut orchard. My dad landscaped everything with his brother and the priority and money went into the front yard (the lawn was dichondra!) but the backyard was a giant vegetable garden... we even had rows of corn. We missed it so much in the early '60s when they ripped it out and landscaped with grass.

  • Redzepi

    Never ever mention him or have him on the show.

    May he go away and join Batalie and the rest.

    And Evan, before you worship any chef or anyone do the research.

  • Evan Klein is a great interviewer

    I am so glad I discovered this podcast. It makes me want to move to LA! I love learning the history of all the different people in the Southern California food system. I also love the book author and researcher guests. Evan is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever heard.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

José Andrés Walks, Cooks, and Feeds the World
Q: Where does the Camino begin and what makes it unique in your life and work?
It starts at Saint-Jean-de-Luz on the France-Spain border, and its appeal lies in the simplicity and humility of the experience—two key themes that also inform my cooking and humanitarian work, reminding me that nourishment can be both straightforward and profoundly meaningful.
José Andrés Walks, Cooks, and Feeds the World
Q: Many people listening may have only a vague idea of the Camino. Can you describe what it is?
The Camino, or Camino de Santiago, is an ancient pilgrimage that spans centuries, inviting walkers to cover long distances across landscapes, sleep in refugios or inns, and savor the journey as a deeply connective experience with people, places, and food along the way.
The spice trade, reimagined
Q: Asha, what makes the fennel and cumin varieties unique and how do you think they best shine in recipes?
The cumin is dry-farmed from the edge of the Thar Desert, and the fennel comes from a seed-saving process that led to a uniquely sweet, plump variety cultivated over four years by a coriander farmer.
The spice trade, reimagined
Q: Sana, could you describe briefly the pepper pork, is it stewed or sautéed?
It is braised with tamarind, curry leaves, fennel, and black pepper, cooked until the pork is fall-off-the-bone tender.
When did kids become such picky eaters?
Q: What practical parenting tips does Veit share for encouraging diverse eating habits today?
Veit's approach emphasizes parental confidence in kids' ability to learn to love varied foods, exposing children to foods during meals, using positive reinforcement, and avoiding constant pressure or punitive tactics, along with maintaining consistent family meals when possible.
