I love this podcast so so so so so so much It is the best podcast in the world. Are you ok Samin and Hrishilkesh????????????????????????? Please make another episode please just one!!!!!!! (I would love more but one is good enough)

I’m not sure I would have made it through the pandemic without you. It was the saddest hardest time, and this show kept me alive. Even with all the puns! Friends forever that will never know my name. :0) Please come back! Even just once a year. Xo

Fun, energetic, and truly laugh out loud funny, I am in love with this show. I plan to listen to them all and I will be sad once I’m done. The best thing? They were talking about eating peanut butter on raisin bread, and Saimin said, “Do you know where the best raisin bread comes from?” I said, Trader Joe’s,” and she said the same thing. Seriously, it’s the best raisin bread ever, and she knew that too. She also loves mulberry ice cream. I’ve never had it but I will literally hurt someone to get rid my hands on fresh mulberries. We are clearly food soulmates! Treat yourself and give a listen to this podcast!!!

This is great! How am I so late I’ve followed Hrishi for years!

This is one of my favorite podcasts of all time. We miss you!! Please make more!!

This is quite possibly the best podcast ever. The only bad thing about it is that there are only 18 episodes!

The two hosts are truly a pleasure to listen to. They interact a bit like siblings, but in the best way. This is a feel-good show. Fingers crossed they record more. Please?

You two bring so much joy to my life! More, more, more please!

Ok maybe I’m a nerd but you guys are so cool and I get so excited to listen to you! I just got your book, Samin, and I can’t wait to read it!

Hey you two are best fun... need to hear your voices in 2023! Please

This is my favorite podcast and I wish you did it more than once a year, Samin and Rishi, but I understand that you have busy lives…. I guess…

Listen to it every night and hope you can cut out some more time to make new episodes to inspire and delight people who fear the kitchen, chefs and everything in between ❤️ thank you for all the amazing tips and tricks.

Each of the 17 parts of the 4 part series had me laughing and crying with my favorite friendship in the cooking world. My face hurts from smiling and laughing so hard. The random releases hit me in all the emotions, and hunger is an emotion in my home. I always want more of these two. This podcast sent me looking for everything Rishi and Samine have done.

Always fun to hear a new episode. Thank you!

I know that “literally” is used too often and without much thought, but not here. I’ve just finished this pod and can say without hesitation, that this was my best hour this year and I was even cleaning my kitchen while listening. I found myself laughing, yes, out loud (again literally)! Twice! I love you both! I’ve also committed to making mango pie but have not yet decided the with, or without gelatin, for Thanksgiving. Thank you for making my 2022.

What an absolute delight having Home Cooking back for an episode! I love and respect that Samin and Hrishikesh give us as much of themselves as they have capacity for but man do I wish we could get more of them! It’s not every podcast that has me grinning and laughing during my entire run.

I was so happy when this new episode popped up! You to always make me smile. Karen

I’m so glad you’ve both come back to us! We love you!

This show kept me company during a long, dark, depressive episode and I’m just so grateful that Samin and Hrishikesh exist :-) 100/10 <3

I pop on and give this show five stars more often than any other podcast. I haven’t even listened to the 2022 episode yet—I just opened my Podcasts and it *made my morning* just seeing the new episode there. I am so excited to listen!! And then I’m going to listen to all of them again. I love this show so much.

I can honestly say this show was a highlight of 2020 for me. The now yearly Thanksgiving episodes continue to make me laugh out loud as I listen on my walks. Can I wish for at least quarterly episodes? Thanks for brightening my day with talk of bougie ice cream!

Love these people. I wish they had time and energy for more episodes, but I am just so grateful when they show up in my playlist!

But I’m so distracted by all of Samin’s “likes”. Sorry to write this.

I can’t express how much this show means to me. To Samin, Hrishi, and the whole team: thank you so much for bringing us another episode!

Saving our third re-listen for when we move into our new apartment… want your nourishing joviality, wisdom, and sass to christen the whole space… like the audio version of bringing people wine, salt, bread! Thank you for all the kindness, for what you guys have shared, especially when you shared it.

Please bring the podcast back! It’s one of my favorites!!!

Love the podcast! Please make more

This divine food-centered podcast featuring Sami and Hirikesh is like a an old friendsship thst is both comfortable, fun, and endearing. Sami is nearly irrepressibly cheerful, though candid and genuine in the face of the pandemic, the accompanying challenges, and the loss of Hirikesh’s mother deep into the show. She utilizes her diverse knowledge of cuisines and culture, including her own experiences from her Iranian (previously described as Persian and as an IranianAmerican. She is worldly and knowledgeable with a refreshing respect for the multicultural experiences and cuisines she has explored. Though her goodwill and brightness is the best part of the series. Hirikesh is a professional musician and podcaster about music, but is in a constant search for food and eating tips to improve his frequently vegan and vegetarian cuisine. He is probably a step above the most novice cook in experience, but clearly appreciates good food and the labor necessary to create it. He is Indian-American (I am unsure of the region) and his father, a retired food scientist, is an occasional charming guest on the show. The stories the hosts share about their families and the food they grew up with makes you feel as if you were sitting with them at a kitchen table, sharing a meal. This is a welcoming, generally cheerful podcast that I’ve returned to multiple times in search of comfort. Highly recommended.

Please do another episode! I Would love to hear the two of you again!

This show is so full of joy! You two are so fun to listen to. Samin laughing all the time and Hrishi’s hilarious and on point puns—THE BEST. Even the callers and guests were a hoot. Thank you for putting some much needed happiness into the universe.

While I don’t miss those scary early-ish days of this neverending pandemic, I do miss seeing a new episode in my queue. Hope you’re both well!

🤞🤞🤞🤞hoping for new episodes! Absolutely love everything about this podcast. I LOVE the hokey puns, the rapport between the hosts, & their depth of knowledge! I can’t say enough about how uplifting the podcast is on every level.

I love this podcast I have gone back to re-listen multiple times! great recipes, great people!

I love love love this podcast. Wish there were more episodes but easily one of my favorites for its heartwarming nature and fun banter-y bits. Love that they’re helping out home cooks with real questions and sharing bits of themselves as they do it. PLEASE make more!?

I would literally pay for there to be more episodes. Samin and Hrishi you are like family and I miss you so much…

Hello! I am just finding Home Cooking - oh how I wish I would have followed along during quarantine. It is such a delight and has quickly become a favorite - please please please continue this wonderful work!

Please keep up this podcast! I love listening to you both!

Stumbled onto your podcast yesterday while on a walk. I must have looked a wee bit crazy as I frequently laughed out loud on my bundled-up-in-Minnesota jaunt. You two are so funny! I felt privileged to be listening in on your stories, teasing, and reveals about yourselves. I listened to your Thanksgiving show and learned a lot of cooking tips but am still riding high on all of the laughter. Keep up the banter and keep up the being you! Thank you for lifting up this funk I’ve been in.

This is the best podcast!! Cooking or otherwise! You two should seriously consider making this a regular thing. I get that you both have separate projects, but I think home cooking should have a permanent place.

I love you two so much. Your kindness oozes from my speakers when I listen to you. I laugh and get all happy. Thank you for coming back for thanksgiving!!

Love you guys and was so beyond stoked to see a new episode!!! Your energy is contagious and just incredible! Thank you for the awesome podcast I constantly like to re-listen to old episodes. Please keep making more episodes!!!!! Happy holidays to you both.

Best podcast! Also best cooking show! Thank you!

Whaaaaat, who would give Home Cooking less than a 5-star review. This show is like homemade pumpkin pie for the ears.

My absolute favorite! I laugh at all the puns and eye rolls. It also helps me think of the elements of cooking and ways to apply the principles to recipes I already make. Please, please make more episodes!

Love love love love love this shot. This is just a plea to the hosts to never stop surprising us with new episodes!

I listened for about three minutes but could not take that laugh! Just what is so funny? The content is probably good but I’ll never know.

Just in time for Turkey day 2021- a new episode is released!! I’m so excited. Y’all have such a great podcast!

Love this podcast. It is so meditative to listen to and Samin’s love of food always makes me emotional.

So glad you are back! Samin your podcast was a lifesaver during the pandemic so glad you’re back!! Please keep it up we love hearing you!!

I never write reviews but re-listening to 2020 Thanksgiving episodes today was like a slice of heaven or cranberry sauce with quince whichever you prefer. I am sure it is a lot of work but any chance you are planning a 2021 Thanksgiving. Edition?? Hope all is well and thanks again for putting this podcast into the world!
