  • Not my rating

    This is a great idea but the interruptions of the hosts are annoying. Giorgio was fabulous but I can’t believe that the hosts have not been to Italy 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ are they not serious about food??

    My rating is 2 stars.

    I keep trying to listen as I’m interested in the guests however the hosts keep playing coy and bumble about. Not sure what they are trying to project, 2 silly women? Not sure why

  • Me me me

    I have never heard of this woman before. Apparently she had a career in music. And now she’s acting. Still never heard of her. And that’s fine! But if you’re a host of a podcast? Why don’t you make it more about the guests?

    You sound like such an upcoming Londoner! But there are bright moments. Specifically when you let your mother have the word.

  • Exceptional

    This is an utter joy. You are both so lovely and talented at cooking at and interviewing. The dynamic between Jessie and Lennie is sublime; it’s witty and warming, funny and frenetic. No matter who the guest is they manage to make EVERYONE feel so welcome and relaxed, these super-celebs really open up to the pair. I’m late to this pod (despite having been aware of it) and I feel so lucky to have so many years of wonderful interviews to get through. Thank you Jess and Lennie - please don’t stop d... more

  • Just let people talk

    This could be an awesome podcasts. The guests are a bunch of 5 star celebrities/musicians, the conversations are interesting and I love Jessie BUT it gets on my nerves that the hosts won’t let guests finish one sentence. Everyone is talking over everyone, it makes my head hurt.
