Excellent podcast. Incredibly insightful with really fun history content. Also, who doesn’t love these women?! Informative, funny, genuine, and conversational - makes you want say bonjour, pull up a chair to their table, and order a glass.
I LOVE this podcast! Caroline and Emily and funny and informative. As a Francophile and foodie, it cannot get better! Or it could, if they could make it a weekly release!!
So much fun to listen to and I learn so much with each podcast. After visiting Paris a few years ago for the first time as a real adult, I’m trying to figure out how to return. Fishwives both fills my cup for all things France and has me dying to return.
Caroline and Emily delve into the fascinating history, culture and traditions behind French food and wine with warmth, humour and remarkable expertise. Every episode is packed with interesting stories and insights, yet feels like sitting down with two knowledgeable friends. Informative, entertaining and enjoyable! Highly recommended for anyone who loves France, food, wine, or all three.
Such a great deep dive into French food & drink & mythology with humour & ease. Nicely done!!
