Very cool concept to go deep on singular ingredients. Take a listen, you’ll learn something and get inspired.

RockvilleBenny · May 2023

As someone who loves and appreciates the artistry of food but isn’t particularly good at making it, I love this podcast for a lot of reasons. John & Andrea have a great way of weaving the conversation with the chef to speak about ingredients/concepts in a way I can understand. After listening I feel inspired to give ingredients I’ve never tried or even heard of a chance just because of how passionate the chef & vendors are of it. Great concept and can’t wait to hear more!

This podcast has me wanting to ‘stock’ up on these new products! So interesting to learn about how these critical stocks and sauces are made. Both chefs bring great insight yet are witty and easy to listen to. Great episode! 👍🏻

What a fun podcast. The hosts bring passion and interest to a wide variety of foods and ingredients from around the world. From the peculiar to the commonplace, they tell the stories of these ingredients in an engaging way with the best chefs and food purveyors in the world. What’s not to love?
