- A rare podcast that all of my family loves
It’s hard to find a podcast that both both my husband and I like, let alone out 9yo and 13yo. But Ingredipedia has found the sweet spot for all of us - funny, good banter, interesting food facts, and ideas for food and recipes we’d like to try. Keep up the fun times, Ben and Em, we think you’re ace!

I love this podcast & never fail to listen.
However the volume has slowly become fainter & fainter. I turn the volume WAY UP to hear it then blow my ears out when the next podcast plays.
Please increase the sound levels 🥺
Apple Podcasts5SudodoerAustralia2 years ago - Educational in the best way possible!
This is such a good podcast- really evokes nostalgia and relatability to Australians and non Australians alike. I genuinely learn so much from this little podcast! Would love more Bites Episodes ❤️✨

My brother who’s based in Sydney recommended the show to me and I’m really liking the pace, the length and the topics. Great relaxing listening experience bringing some Melbourne memories to far away Germany. Thank you!
