Love the gentle, understanding way Yotam interacts with his guests. Quietly and respectfully. And the food—fantastic! Lovely and relaxing to listen to. Hoping for more.

I really enjoyed this from start to finish. The host and the guest really made this podcast so enjoyable I was listening while having my bath. Brilliant!

Always strikes the right note through chat & food. Just love listening to Yotams views on fabulous cooking
lydzm via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/14/18
I've only listened to the first episode, with Nadiya Hussain, but so far it's a total delight. Free-ranging chat about all sorts of topics, with a sneak peak into the recipes in Simple. I'm off to make that semolina gnocchi right now . . .Read full review »

Loved the first episode. A dinner party with absolutely no effort on your part! No getting dressed, getting in the car and wrangling traffic to get to someone’s house. Just the essence of the conversation between two people who live breathe and eat fantastic food. Great conversation and insights,...Read full review »

A wonderful podcast listening to interesting people who enjoy food and each other’s company.
Maman Canadienne via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/08/18
Like hanging out with old friends enjoying the familiarity and safety of sharing food while we share the deep and subtle nuances of our lives, loves and influences.

I wanted a warm easy listen to accompany me while I cooked, and fittingly, Nigella Lawson popped into my head. I searched to see if any interviews with her were available in podcast form and found Simple Pleasures. It was exactly what I was looking for. Nopi is my favourite restaurant so I knew...Read full review »

Fab podcast, guests & yummy food.
shoegal35 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/11/18
What a treat...loved this episode. Particularly interesting that you are choosing to talk to people who have had different careers and not just other cooks.
mothergooseknits via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/11/18
This show is humble, informative, beautiful, and perfectly crafted - Ottolenghi style to a T. Can’t recommend enough!
keamyblue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/18
Whoever is producing/editing these episodes is doing a great job of capturing and presenting the interactions between Yotam and his guests as casual conversations rather than contrived interviews. I've wanted to cook every dish, too!Read full review »
ablue_dolphin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/18
I just binged through the first three episodes of this podcast: Nadiya Hussein, Nigella Lawson, and Lin-Manual Miranda. What a delight! Food podcasts can be difficult because you can't see, smell, or taste the food, but this one manages to transcend that challenge by being about more than...Read full review »

Half way through the first ep, love it already! But, please, please, can you post the recipes? Thank you!

I have just listened to the second podcast, with guest Nigella Lawson. What a treat. This episode, to me, summed up why I love cooking and why food is so important. The conversational style, the food, the honesty and openness - perfect. Thank you.
SueKet via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/13/18
Brilliant interview with Nadiya, both such inspiring people.
D00nad via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 09/13/18
Absolutely fantastic podcast with great guests!
Aukim via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/11/18
Really enjoyed this podcast. Great balance between food and other topics. Nadia is so full of fun, and her genuinely interesting take on life as a brown Muslim woman was fascinating. What a great host too, he allowed her plenty of time to speak whilst feeding her delicious food. Can’t wait for...Read full review »

...to the sadness in the world and in the news. This podcast is healing for the soul. Thank you, Yotam!
AudieArn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/18
Really enjoyed listening to this. Love both chefs. They clearly enjoyed each other’s company too.
cgf47 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/09/18
What a pleasure to listen to Yotam and guest! You feel like you’re in the kitchen with them and want to join the conversation. Can’t wait for the next episode. And I’m going straight to the website to look at those recipes!
Anndou via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/07/18
Have to agree, smiled the whole time. Two supper talented people enjoying each other with food and conversation.
Gkxv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/18
Wonderful first podcast. If the rest are as good as this, we’re in for a real treat. Ottolenghi is a natural and Nadiya is ... well just Nadiya!
richardatbelair via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/06/18
It was such a mood lifter! It was like a well crafted tv show but for the radio
jay pidcast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/18
Like his cooking, this is a lovely relaxing way to pass an hour.
Jabber the Claret via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/05/18
This podcast is making me want to go home and spend all day cooking (and eating). I love that it’s recorded in his kitchen as it makes me feel like I’m there in the conversation. The interview with Nadia is so open and honest but most of all I love the way they talk about food. Can’t wait for the...Read full review »

Great podcast!

dddyveke via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 09/04/18
I thoroughly enjoyed this hour.. and then went and ordered the cookbook!
Slinds79 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/03/18
What a delight to listen to two cooks who would be on my fantasy dinner guest table. Everything yottam cooks is a delight and what an incredible way to publicise a new cookbook as I am already sold on all the recipes. I will definitely check out Nadia’s books too. Great podcast.
13mimosa via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/03/18
It was lovely to hear two such similar souls coming together over food. Wish I had been there!
EDVmusic via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/03/18
What’s not to love ? Yotam Ottolenghi cooks for his guests at home while having a chat about life and food. Listen to this while cooking a good meal at home, and you’ll feel like they’re sitting right there with you at your kitchen table - a simple pleasure indeed! Look forward to future episodes.
brooklynyogi134 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/18
Loved the first episode! I wasn’t sure how cooking a meal would translate to a podcast without visuals, but I felt like I was in the kitchen cooking with them. Best part about cooking a meal with others is the conversation in the kitchen, and that’s what this podcast is. Looking forward to more!...Read full review »

I just finished listening to your first episode with Nadiya Hussain & I absolutely loved it, i think I was smiling the whole time I was listening to you 😊
