Quite simply, this podcast is balm to my soul. It’s such a pleasure to gather around the table with Megan, John, Shannon and their guests.
I got my Christmas gift! My 2019 Joy of Cooking! It was my first ask from Santa!
I listen to a lot (a LOT) of cooking and food podcasts. I didn’t expect to like this podcast all that much-what a sleeper it turned out to be!
I love the hosts and their casual “chats”. I feel like I’m sitting at their kitchen table. It’s now the first episode I turn to in my library of podcasts.
Keep up the great work, John, Megan and Shannon!!
This is one of the most boring podcasts hosted by the most boring people imaginable. I save up the episodes to lull myself to sleep. No one cares about what boring people are cooking each other for dinner, but it is a sure fire cure for insomnia.
