Podcasts might seem like a weird medium for chefs, restaurateurs and foodies; there are no delicious smells and no fancy plating to look at. But with the rise of podcasts and the incredible reach they have amassed it was really only a matter of time before podcasts started to expand into subjects commonly associated with traditional media.
Today there are hundreds of podcasts related to food in some way in the UK alone. There are shows for recipe sharing, cooking in general, interviews with chefs, restaurant reviews and food history. Generally in 2022 there are podcasts for just about anything and food is no exception.
We have tried to find the best food podcasts right now and list them below. We will continuously add podcasts to the list to keep it as up-to-date as possible.
