  • So inspiring!

    This podcast is a cool glass of white wine while sautéing mushrooms for risotto in a hot buttery pan. It crackles with creativity. It soothes the mind. It is my go-to podcast. I am my family’s meal planner and I am always looking for inspiration. This podcast is my new favorite place to be. It leaves me feeling connected, inspired, and ready to cook. Give it a listen!

  • Lovely podcast!

    I look forward to new episodes of The Dinner Plan! It inspires creativity with great interviews with guests, and I love that there is a caller question every episode with kind of a “chopped” situation for the guests and host to solve given the ingredients of the caller’s kitchen. A very relaxing, inspiring podcast, all home cooking enthusiasts should give it a listen!
