  7. SEASON 3 TRAILER

    After a pandemic pause, Home Cooked is back.

    In March of 2020, like much of the rest of the world, Home Cooked abruptly stopped production on the first episode of this season. And for a while there, we weren’t sure we’d get back to it. But when the main subject of the story – with whom we began recording back in the summer of 2019 – continued inviting host Sarah Martin back for more interviews, his story gently and consistently grew, eventually becoming a three-part documentary. Join us for Kory Snache’s fish cakes and a new season of Home Cooked in 2024.
