My favorite podcast!!! This is how I start my day, I cook for my meditation. I love cooking for family and friends. I bring my treasures to work at a endoscopy unit in Boston. It’s like handing out love! This podcast is no mindless chatter, no banter, just give me the basics! A million thanks!!!

Gi Joe in Natick · Aug 2024

Really enjoy your daily podcasts. I made the Kalau Pig today. Followed recipe given and it was great. Once pork was cooked, I remove pork from pot and then added cabbage, onions, red potatoes and small ears of frozen corn on the cob to pot and seasoned heavily with a Cajun seasoning. Cooked for ten minutes, natural release fo 8 minutes. It was delicious.

Street-Licious · Dec 2023

I like this one because Christine doesn’t dwell on chefs and their spiritual journeys or how someone’s trip to a volcano rim influenced their cooking. That stuff is fine but I like to listen to practical advice on how to make things. Also her recipes tend to be pretty practical and mostly from easily available ingredients. It’s surprising how few podcasts there are like that.

Winston-Salem cook · May 2023

I am a “home cook”. I want to be a great cook for both my family and when guests are over, but I have never felt confident. Christine’s Recipe of the Day is a solution! Each segment is short and yet gives me specific what-and-how-to-dos which I understand and then can use. I know that I’m listening to and learning from a competent chef - and I don’t need to have a culinary education to benefit. I benefit TREMENDOUSLY. I am excited to build my skills through what I learn. I even listen to the recipes that include ingredients I’m not fond of, because I’m still learning how to create and gaining ideas for how I might substitute and use what I have. Thank you!!!
