Customer Reviews
If you like food and you like history...
this podcast is for you! First of all, I’m just gonna say it: Katherine has one of the best voices in podcasting! I love history and I enjoy food, and every episode is such an interesting deep dive on topics I usually have never given thought to. The conversations are great and offer diverse perspectives. The guest’s passion for the topic at hand is matched by Katherine’s passion to research and drop all the knowledge! Consistently one of my faves!
Smart Mouth for educated eaters
Great interviews, great information. Every time I listen I learn something new. It’s fun, informative and makes you hungry for more.
An Audible Aperitif
Audio food programs have seldom done much for me, since hearing is the only sense food doesn't stimulate. But Katherine's presentation is still quite sating. She's smart, funny and delightful. Each week she comes in well prepared on the topic. The guests on the episodes I've listened to have been interesting and engaging, and Katherine is quite capable as a host to allow them to shine and position them to be at their best. Listen and you'll see the Table Cakes crew are worthy your adoration,
