A Girl, a Gay & a Thermo

Valentine's Day is on the horizon and we're bringing back one of our all-time fave episodes - with a fresh intro from us because we have thoughts on the whole romantic nonsense of it all.

We're talking romantic gestures, the petty little acts that somehow keep long-term relationships alive, and why Valentine's Day in restaurants is an absolute circle of hell. Bronte shares his most risqué Valentine's gift, and we ask the question - is gifting a Thermomix actually romantic, or a massive red flag? Jump back to episode 12 for all the recipe links that we chitty chat about in the episode.

Well... plot twist.

Due to a catastrophic computer failure (RIP), we've lost our upcoming episodes and need a few weeks to regroup, recover and emotionally process. Instead of disappearing, we're pivoting - and replaying some of our absolute fave episodes while we get back on track. First up, we're wingin' it (literally) with one of our faves; Wingin' It. All things chicken wings - sauces, methods, mess and why wings are elite party food. Thanks for sticking with us while we sort our tech sh*t out. Normal programming will resume - eventually :)

For recipe links, check out the notes on episode 17 'Wingin It'

Quinoa... we know. It's got a reputation, but we're here to change your mind. This week, we're talking about the quinoa we actually like, how to cook it so it's fluffy (not soggy and bitter), and all the ways it can be genuinely delicious. Think savoury muffins, crunchy crackers, fresh salads, salmon burgers that don't taste 'healthy', and a surprisingly decadent chocolate cake that no one will guess is quinoa. If quinoa has ever let you down before, this is it's comeback tour.

This week we're taking the barbie beyond snags and chops and levelling things up just a little. Bronte is bringing the more upmarket BBQ bites plus a cheats sriracha that will make you question every sauce you've ever bought. Erin's going full domestic goddess with homemade tomato sauce, classic damper and nostalgic icy poles that prove the BBQ doesn't end when the grill turns off. Less sausage sizzle, more main character energy - this is BBQ cooking with confidence.

This episode, we're talking stone fruit in all its glory. From sauces, jams, pastes and chutneys to show-stopping salads and flatbreads, we are sending a love letter to our fave summer stone fruits. We get fancy with herb-infused sorbet (just wait till you hear Bronte's thoughts on herbs and fruit), a silky panna cotta and a cherry hand pie with sour cream pastry that would make Maggie Beer do a double take. We also look at our 'Word of the Year' for 2026 and have thoughts and feelings on Stranger Things. Grab yourself a peach, apricot, plum or cherry and strap in.
