15 episodes

Two friends talk about new release fiction and road-test the food within it... everything from Liane Moriarty's brownies in Apples Never Fall, and to the pickled pork in Hannah Kent's Devotion.

Join journalist, Alissa Warren and writer Sally Killoran as they delve into new release books mostly by Australian authors ... sometimes a bit late off the presses ... because between Alissa and Sally, they have seven kids under eleven and two dogs (one well-behaved, one not).

They talk food inspiration, feeding the circus and finding the good things amongst the chaos.

This monthly podcast is for fellow humble readers and hopeful cooks.

    The Paper Palace X The Palace Papers X Holly Ringland X Julia Ostro

    Season 2 of read, eat, repeat is here - coming at you monthly with a round-up of the books we have read and the deliciousness it has inspired us to cook (or not). 

    Alissa's read Tina Brown's The Palace Papers (Sally listened to the audio book) and now they are both Royal tragics... Alissa's also read The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. 

    Sal has read Holly Ringland's second novel The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding, as well as Maggie O'Farrell's The Marriage Portrait. Both highly recommended for different reasons. 

    The girls have also been cooking - Sal's mum gave her A Year of Simple Family Food by Julia Busuttil Nishimura and has cooked the Summer recipes within it - the Slow-roasted Tomatoes with Mint and Mozzarella is a BBQ fav. 

    It is so wonderful to be back in your ears. Follow us for more!
