- 5 STARS and more!
Just discovered this jewel of a podcast. Love the way both interviewers handle questions. Especially love the way they don’t talk over each other or interject their own tidbits - which I’m sure would be interesting, but would perhaps take away from the guest and their stories.
Many thanks for hours of enjoyment and knowledge!

United States3 years ago - Charming interviewers
The guests might sometimes be dull, and sometimes not even interested in food, but the hosts are wonderfully charming and perceptive. Some of the podcasts, such as that featuring the estimable and eloquent Fuchsia Dunlop, are stellar and worth more than one listen.

United Kingdom5 years ago - Fascinating interviews
Lovely interviews especially with chefs and cooks. My only gripe is the peculiar pronunciation by the presenters of 'cook' and 'book'!

I particularly loved the Cressida Bonas interview, but also the Marcus Wareing interview. Having watched Marcus on Masterchef for m... more
Apple Podcasts5PoppetteerUnited Kingdom5 years ago - A joy
The presenters speak beautifully and knowledgably at all times. The Fuchsia Dunlop interview is a particular treat, as the guest treads politely, and with almost musical gifts of expression, around the issue of why Brits have such poor taste in food.
