#38 - Fat Rendering, Traditional Food Gems & Eggs, Eggs, Eggs!
As well as recording two podcasts a month, Alison & Andrea also sit down together once a month to catch up on what's been happening in their own food worlds. These chats are recorded these chats especially for the patrons of the Ancestral Kitchen Podcast.
As the podcasts this month are all about bringing you closer, what better than to share one of these intimate chats with you?! So coming up you've got them both at the kitchen table, tea in hand, sharing, laughing and learning together.
