  • Insights into food and people

    I enjoyed The Splendid Table’s hands-on approach to cooking under its original host, Lynne Rossetto Kasper.

This podcast has influenced my cooking and my thinking about food, but I would probably still listen even if it didn... more

  • Fallen out of Love

    A loyal, longtime listener who fell out of love after far too many re-aired episodes. Not unusual over the past three or four years to hear the same holiday episode that had been aired the year before and the year before that—and the year before that. Disappointed to no longer look forward to this podcast
