Hello! I love this podcast, but pls remove Starbucks from your ads they aid in the genocide of Palestinian people, they are union busters, and have harmful environmental practices.
Such a pleasant way to spend some alone time!
I enjoyed The Splendid Table’s hands-on approach to cooking under its original host, Lynne Rossetto Kasper.

Disappointed to no longer look forward to this podcast
