I like it!

I like the calm, librarian-style manner while delving into interesting recipes. She seems to think the way I do, so it's fun listening and being along for the adventure. Good variety of cookbooks! Also, I appreciate the buy vs check-out rating.

Inspirational

Enjoying the pod. Like the variety of recipes, makes me want to cook! 🍽️

Norwich42 ,

kind of think you should sign up for a meal subscription

would not recommend an inexperienced cook follow this podcast -- who serves a first-time dish without tasting, evaluating it?
