  • So well researched and interesting.

    For anyone who loves food and all things food this is the number one show. I particularly like Ruth Alexander's low-key style which never bores or frustrates me. Thank you.

  • Culture and science of food

    I absolutely love your podcast. It goes to that unique place where we experience food. How it fits into our cultures and just enough science that it is palatable šŸ˜
