- 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 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.
