  • Not for me

    The hosts seems to spend as much time reviewing the author’s personality as they do the recipes in the book. I’m also not keen on how they dock non-vegetarian focused cookbooks for not being veggie friendly – there are plenty of cookbooks which cater to your dietary restrictions. Was looking for the right cookbook review podcast for me be I’ll have to keep looking.

  • Witty, inspiring and an easy listen.

    I’ve never been much of a chef, but this podcast has inspired me to broaden my horizons and experiment with recipes I otherwise wouldn’t have attempted.

    And it’s not just about the cookbooks, but the witty banter and easy chat makes me feel like I’m in conversation with a friend. A lovely and addictive listen- not just for foodies!

  • I rarely ever post negative reviews however there’s always a first

    I think it’s meant to be banter and whilst I love a great chat between friends - but somewhere in the conversation they really sound like they are making fun of their subjects and having a laugh at them and not with them.

    Which is sad as they have great capacity to make this podcast a great one. Shame , I really hope they take this criticism as constructively as it’s been given. It’s still not too late to salvage this show.
