“Over the last year or two I've found time to add the show into my listening routine (particularly early Saturday mornings) and though I am like others who misses the previous host LRK I long felt it had excluded young people and new food perspecives. The show evolved yet is still warm and...”Read full review »

“Very useful and interesting interviews. Had to mark it down though as people in the real midwest consider ohio new england not midwest. Bad reporting”

“of what the show used to be. It is a slap in the face to home cooks.
BTW, is everyone aware that Francis is a cookbook editor? If not, you haven’t listened for five minutes.”

“This person on this episode, who makes African food, trolled my IG account because I’m against genocide. They don’t even know me. This person took the time to spew their hatred and support for genocide on a strangers page. Stick to food. It’s probably disgusting anyway. Food tastes better with...”Read full review »

“Overall it’s still one of my favorites. I wish , wish they would mark when it’s a re-run or a re-mix. I don’t listen much anymore because I’ve heard them all. It’s not a new show if 50% or more of the content is old. Yes, it was that memorable the first time.”

“I also wish there were more home cooks and fewer cookbook commercial episodes. I get that this is a side job for Francis Lam, but it’s really made the show boring. It used to be much better.”

Also there are special returning guests that are super fun because they show up with a well thought out topic...”Read full review »

“Recently a guest said it had been a “lifetime dream” to be on the show, and Francis was like - “really? You should aim higher than that.” Sure, it’s a joke but it also sums up the vibe- and it made me pause, and actually unsubscribe. I miss Jane and Micheal stern. I like Francis as a host,...”Read full review »

“My family used to love this show and binge listen on car rides. Now we are quick to change the channel when it airs on our local NPR station. Francis Lam’s radio speaking voice is nearly inaudible. Unsure if it’s his radio equipment, just his voice or both. The “new” show features up-and-coming...”Read full review »

I also love his giggle! Lynn was a gem, but it’d unfair to expect Francis to be a replica of...”Read full review »

“I so looked forward to this show for YEARS and loved Lynne’s intelligence, practicality, and joy. I learned so much from her and Sally, especially the podcasts that were offshoots of TST-How to Eat Weekends & How to Eat Supper. I completely respect that Lynne deserved to retire after...”Read full review »

“Excellent podcast - content is engaging and interesting and fun! Frances is down to earth and thoughtful in his delivery. Love it!
My only feedback is that I would love to have new episodes though - I an not a fan of the constant recycling of older episodes.”

“OMG so oppressive that the British MADE Indians drink tea and take tea breaks during work. 🙄 The second half of this episode was so annoying. I studied in India and was graced with many cups of chai from loving families, memories now tainted by your bitterness.”

“What a delight. Francis Lam has taken over the helm of this show in a way that honors its founder and its past, but also makes it fresh and relevant and irresistible. Bravo! So excited to binge listen to all the episodes I’ve missed, and I can’t wait for all the new ones to come.”

“Loved this podcast so much when Lynne was at the helm. Now it’s just terrible. Francis Lam is annoying and talks over his guests so much that they may as well have never come on the show. And his annoying giggle when he’s trying to be cute about something is just. . . Ugh. You’ve lost this fan.”
