Customer Reviews
Pastry chef approved
I was really sad when BA imploded a few years back and was so happy to see that Rick and Carla were together again. They have always had a fun chemistry and this podcast reflects that. It is informative enough for a chef while also being lighthearted and never patronizing to people that are just starting their cooking journey.
Re: The Freezer Is Your Friend episode: As a pastry chef I say, let’s not body shame the people with “cold, witches fingers”!
Love it
So this is basically car talk but with food and cooking. Loving the show and the format!!
Fun and informative!!
Love the great production intros to sections, like “Tell Me Something Good!” I love the fun personalities of these two chefs extraordinaire!! Learn something new about food or prep.
