Shawn and Simon dig back through the year that was for inspiration in the kitchen and soon head right off the rails into plantains, picky eaters and for some reason sumo wrestling.

Shawn Leave a comment

A year of podcasting and we’ve finally got around to onions! Possibly the most important and versitile vegetable in our pantry gets some love along with an extended talk about canning and the craziness currently going on in the culinary industry.
