In the Kitchen with Rachel Roddy

Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | iHeartRadio

Rachel Roddy, what can I say? I’ve been a big fan of hers from the first time I read her blog Rachel Eats, and when I met her in person, I was charmed. She’s an actress, a natural-born storyteller, hungry researcher and a relentless chef. From peripatetic thespian to two best-selling cookbooks and a weekly food column A Kitchen in Rome (The Guardian), Rachel pretty much rocks. We sat down at her kitchen in Testaccio where it all started. Listen in and you’ll understand why I want Rachel to narrate audiobooks.
