Move To The Next Level
I enjoyed the Podcast as helping frame the whys of my love for cooking and also showing me ways to take some of the pressure off. I do think it would be helpful to take it to the next level. For example, walk through a grocery store and model putting a fast and satisfying meal together that includes shortcuts but also requires some technique. I love to challenge myself, but there are times I need to be more practical, talk about how to incorporate both in very specific ways. Also, do some of the best options for creating variety from a base, such as soups and salads. For example, an easy homemade dressing and more time-saving options for the veggies and protein or grain salads. I would like more direction on specific recipes.
No thanks.
I’m a visually Washington Post subscriber. Ads for this podcast load before almost every robo-narrated article. I’ve heard the same ad so many times that I have no interest in learning more about improving my daily life - which would be greatly improved if the ads would just stop.
LOVE
I make podcasts for a living and this is one of my favorites to listen to (unaffiliated). Love how bite-sized these are. Jam packed with helpful info and nothing else!
Keep em coming please!
