Listened to the Spain feature which was way over the top publicity for Whole Foods. The enthusiastic , gee whiz promotion of Whole Food was astounding. Figured it was a junket, which apparently is no longer unethical for people posing as journalists of many sorts. This was confirmed when I saw several other food centered pods etc. discussing Spain and Whole Foods.
Sigh. No longer listening to this podcast.
Everything from her cookbooks is DELICIOUS- so nice to hear her voice!
Love your content and guests, especially Adeena my goddess of Jewish and Israeli cooking! Her golden challah recipe has become my default for challah and babka, I loved learning about what she’s up to.
I’ve been listening to this pod since its early days. Matt is such an incredible host, bringing humor, years of experience in food media, and respect for his guests and the industry in long-form interviews. The diversity of guests and issues covered show the breadth of Matt’s knowledge and love for this ever evolving and growing industry.
Always entertaining!
