Show Notes
This week we’ve done the grocery shopping so you don’t have to. Well, sort of.
We’re diving headfirst into the October recipe offerings from Coles, Woolies and ALDI, putting 15 recipes under the microscope to answer life’s most pressing culinary questions…
Who thought a carrot cake disguised as a STEAK was a good idea? Are viral dumpling bakes actually genius? Has Woolies officially lost the plot with fairy bread ice-cream bao buns? Are sausage roll scrolls the snack we didn’t know we needed? And most importantly… who the f* is making THAT on a Tuesday?!**
From genuinely brilliant weeknight dinners to recipes that belong in a psychiatric assessment, we’re handing out awards and crowning our supermarket champion.
Somewhere along the way, we also discuss the Sam Wood situation, the literary car crash that is Verity, and the new ceramic Varoma dish. It’s possibly our longest episode yet. Pour something long and tall and settle in xx

School holidays are FINALLY over and Erin is hanging by a thread. Between endless sleepovers, children who apparently never leave (and have individual egg orders), and Dad landing back in hospital, there’s not much left in the tank.
THE BACHELOR’S HANDBAG Australia’s most reliable dinner date is getting the episode it deserves. But first… obviously we spend a completely reasonable 12 minutes reviewing Kylie’s Grand Final performance before remembering this is allegedly a food podcast. Then we get down to chook business: Coles vs Woolies — who’s got the superior bird? What are we actually DOING with a cooked chook? Viral chicken recipes worth trying Chicken lasagne Peking chook pancakes French onion chicken pie Nagi’s Buffalo Chicken Dip — so rich you may want 000 on standby Because there is SO much more to the humble supermarket chook than sandwiches and sad Tuesday-night salad.
THIS ONE TIME, AT BAND CAMP… Yes, Erin actually plays the flute. Yes, she went to band camp. And yes, this week’s chat about our kids getting into trouble somehow turned into Erin & Bronte confessing their own school misdemeanours. Also on this week’s completely sensible food podcast...
