I’m still grieving, but when I saw this podcast was revived recently, it gave me some joy to see that something I’d shared with my friend was alive again.

    I am so excited every time an episode pops up. Samin and Hrishi are so fun to listen to and I would listen to their dad jokes even if there wasn’t food advice. The food knowledge I gain from their show is an added bonus! Thank you for making cooking so accessible!
