Loving the Education!

Thank you ladies for providing education on topics from the history of eggs to the history of enslaved Africans! So refreshing to hear unbiased information these days and you warm my heart and expand my knowledge at the same time. Never stop!

Wrong Facts

I wanted to like this podcast so much. It combines two of my hobbies: history and food; however, there are instances in which the hosts have presented wrong information as factual.

Amazing Podcast & Garlic Episode

Love, love Hungry for History! OMG, the garlic episode was fabulous!! I am in the Bay Area so I love going to the Gilroy Garlic Festival or just driving by for the smell. This episode brought me so many memories. I love the history behind each episode, the interviews with incredible people and the love that is projected from Eva and Maite with each episode they release. Thank you for taking me on a journey with you!

Finally, a podcast for me!

Maite & Eva are insightful, knowledgeable & entertaining. I completely appreciate this podcast because it reflects & touches on all the things that I am. I’m 100% American but I’m also 100% Mexican. This podcast speaks to the passionate & proud Mexican in me. This is a paramount podcast!

Story about wine

I wished you had told the story about wine and how it spread to other part of the world, not just in Mexico. Chilean and Argentinian wine is more well known than Mexico. In addition, when the carmenere grape was destroyed in France from the Bordeaux region. Chile helped the French restablished this variety of grape. I also wanted to learn about wine from Australia and South Africa.

Why?

I love this podcast, and it is informative and fun. However, there are SO many ads, almost 3 or 4 ad breaks per episode, and always the same 4 or 5 ads over and over. Not sure if it is the service I listen to it on, but minus the ads it is one of my favorite podcasts

History of olive trees

Olive trees in Lebanon date back to 6000 BC and in Palestine even before... Freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil should not be eaten until at least 6 months after its pressed otherwise you have that bitter taste.

ChefAnnette

Loving learning while laughing!

Loved this first episode and can’t wait for more!! So personal and fun while while being enriching and educational- so much so that I just sent the link to my culinary book group as a little extra assignment!

Who knew tortillas could be so interesting?

Such a fun idea for a podcast! I love learning interesting things about everyday objects. How the name originated, how the item came into existence, etc. Episode 1 hits on all of that (about corn vs. flour tortillas) and makes it feel like you’re in the kitchen with your best friends hanging out. I’m excited to see what’s in store for future episodes.
