United States5 years ago - The best podcast I know!
As a history nerd and a foodie, this is one of my all-time favorite podcasts! Every episode is incredibly educational and entertaining, and instantly transports you in the most wonderful way. The way that Laura crafts each episode is so creative and unique, and her knowledge as well as story-telling skills are superb. This is a wonderful way to learn about food and history that I adore!

Fascinating, a great listen well researched and interestingly presented.
Apple Podcasts5Judy 29Canada6 years ago - What a great idea this pod cast is!
I’m a Foodie, so a name like The Feast would attract me, but your podcast has so much more than recipes! The history and culture lessons are the best. I can’t wait to go to Wisconsin to try some supper clubs and go to the renovated Waldorf Astoria! Thank you Laura!
Apple Podcasts5LMB153United States6 years ago - Dinner with Georgia O’Keefe
I was lucky to go to Santa Fe in 2019 for my birthday! Visited Ghost Ranch! Enjoy your Podcast because I could picture the ranch and Ms O’Keefe’s home there! The problem with listening to this Podcast is that the narrator Ms Laura Carlton speaks too fast. It was interfering with the pleasure of picturing the description of all being described ! I think even Ms O’Keefe would agree. Savor the words like life should be savored. That is obviously what Ms O’Keefe did in her life.

United Kingdom7 years ago - Dinosaur Dinners, Giant Cheese Wheels, & Vegetarian Victorians
As someone who's studying to be a dietitian, I love talking about food (who doesn't?). I also have a small love for history, so you can only imagine how happy I was to come across this podcast. My favorite episode is the story about the Victorian Dinosaur Dinner (I can't tell you how many times I've listened to that episode). I also like the book recommendations at the end as I'm usually looking for something to read, especially if it has to do with food and the history of it. (I think it's star... more
