  • Amazing!!

    I listen to a ton of food podcasts, and I’m a bit sad it took me so long to find this one!! I’m enjoying going through the backlist and can’t wait for the next in the Kitchens series. Lucy is such a good interviewer and the episodes are well planned and thoughtful. And that’s on top of being about such important aspects of food and cooking. Well done!!
