I really want to enjoy his podcast, he is a culinary icon, but Heavens, does the man like ad revenue! College age kids just starting in life don’t have this many ads in their podcasts. Try to enjoy, get to hear about a million products to buy. Sorry, Mark, maybe you could ease off a bit?

Libs find a way to politicize food. Congrats

Just another podcast full of woke left-wing American hating crap. Don’t waste your time.

Love the podcast! Thank you! Any chance for an episode with Gabrielle Hamilton? 😬

Food? Or idealogical mess.

It’s 70% ads and 30% content, thrilled his daughter is on the show now to add a new voice

I enjoy Mark Bittman‘s podcast program during the night because I have insomnia and I need things interesting yet cheerful to listen to.

Mark was never a killer interviewer, but at least his show used to be listenable and occasionally enjoyable/informative. These new episodes in 2022 are markedly worse. Meandering interviews, fewer recipes, and the episodes just seem sloppy now. What happened?

I like mark’s recipes, books and his general approach to cooking, and although I’ve enjoyed the podcast in the past, these last several episodes are more like boring talk shows. I love Laura Linney, but I come to Mark to hear about food, not her career. Unsubscribing.

Light enough to enjoy, heavy enough to think. Practical food tips at the start and end. Really well done. Mark is a great story teller. Guests offer further exploration in foods. A top 5 in my food-casts. ****

I love your podcast! THANK YOU for the easy recipes within the episodes. I am learning to cook so efficiently without sacrificing flavor. I also love your coverage of diverse food topics and people. Thanks to your podcast I renewed my Bon Apetit subscription after a 20 year hiatus.

Your guest doesn’t know all humans are animals? You need expertise not artificiality…

So many wonderful guests and very meaningful & comprehensive discussions about so much more than just cooking. A really enjoyable and educational podcast than informs without sermonizing.

The show is wonderful, but sometimes during interviews Mark's voice fades away. That's it!

Great! Don't miss it.

I really like the episodes I’ve listened to so far. Mark is a good interviewer and his passion about all things food really comes through in the show. Seems like there’s a great lineup of guests. Looking forward to listening more.

Love her and enjoyed this episode very much! Thank you!

I’m a long-time fan of Mr. Bittman but after listening to the first three episodes, I’m stopping there. Great guests, but not impressed with the rest of it. His voice doesn’t keep my attention at all. Plus too much self promotion, like answering a listener’s question about baking bread by telling her she’d have to wait for his book, due out in November. Seriously? I’ll keep reading him but think I’ll go back to The Splendid Table.

Mark’s books, articles, interviews, and now this podcast has inspired me to improve my cooking skills and to look at food and society differently. My confidence has grown tremendously and I thoroughly enjoy time in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing all this wonderful information.

I’m a long time fan of Mark Bittman. I like the show and the combination of food and where it all comes from. That said I was quite disappointed that Mark didn’t ask more direct questions of the new bon appétit editor in relationship to the bon appétit test kitchen issues of the past year. I respect him deeply for asking hard questions but I feel he really missed the chance to get a direct answer to what happened and what is going to improve with this publication.

First 10 min and heard the same 2 advertisements THREE times and self promotion THREE times. (Hint: the best way to promote yourself to the people already listening is your content, not to talk about yourself)

Thank you for varied, informative, and succinct interviews with others and presentations of your POV.

Love the telescoping in and out from actual eating to food contexts and issues--all done with a remarkably light hand that keeps this delightful. FOOD is everything!!

I have been watching @YouTube Nigella Tonic “Home Alone” regarding the “cooking for yourself in an everyday kind of a way/getting familiar with the rhythms of the kitchen”. I love the jingle, as I do yours and thank you for having her on your show. Leek, carrot, garlic, asparagus, olive oil... all so inspiring as ingredients, but “be careful with the blender,” it will take me weeks before I am sorted in my new kitchen with my bank and @Visa before I am settled in my digestive juices for the buying leek by @JoecoffeeNYC, getting the blender back up on the shelf. May I ask if I decide plastic which blender you suggest buying (I would have to buy one). There is this enormous dishwasher in here which uses an amazing amount of water. Six cups of chicken stock: now also thinking of buying a new pot. The one this rental company left is meh. Which one do you suggest? @Mallement

So accessible, love the spoken recipes, and the guests are excellent. Really enjoying this podcast!

Longtime Bittman fan here: I love his writing, his cookbooks, his Instagram. Having listened to the first episode it is fun, charming, and informative. I look forward to many more!!

Bittman has set the bar really high, having the great Nigella Lawson as his first guest, but if he can retain this combination of improvisatory, high-geek, low-snobbery food talk moving forward, he’s got himself a hit. I love cooking, eating and talking about food deeply and well, but other than Thw Sporkful, every other food podcast I’ve listened to has left me (wait for it) hungry for more.

A big fan of Mark, and have enjoyed his books for many years. The first episode is great - just as enjoyable as expected. I also highly recommend The Bittman Project! That and the NYTCooking emails are some of my favorite reads.

Finally, a podcast that both embraces the true pleasures of cooking and confronts the more serious side of food and its impact on our world. Something to look forward to week after week after week.

One thing’s for sure after listening to the first episode—Bittman has a knack for asking interesting questions and inspiring candid answers. With his usual unfussy style. We’ll be overindulging at Mark’s table!

Mark has so many ideas and you can implement them easily. I have many of his books and I am still learning from this podcast!

Mark is an excellent conversationalist; easy and witty and smart. He’s done a great job in the past of covering all aspects of food, and the podcast is sure to do just that. Such an exciting lineup of guests, too!

This is bound to be great because.. well, Mark Bittman!

I resisted cooking for the longest time. But after listening to Mark’s latest book and realizing the cooking is the only way to eat healthy I have learned to embrace cooking. And his recipes make it possible for a non cook to make a fabulous meal.

Love Mark and LOVE the new podcast ideas.

Super excited to listen to Mark’s new podcast to hear him share his wealth of knowledge about my favorite subject! He’s got a clear voice and the podcast is certain to be very informative.

Looking forward to hearing it all 🙂

Mark is a fount of food knowledge, covering a n awesome range of cool and insightful topics. Also, love his voice. So looking forward to this!

From Nigella Lawson to Jane Goodall to Moby as guests on the podcast…can’t wait!

I can’t wait for this podcast - I’ve been a fan of Mark for decades: loved his NYTimes columns, cookbooks, Minimalist videos, and all that he has written re issues in the our food system. He has the gift of tackling the key topics - helping us understand the big picture, what’s at stake and the choices we can make while, at the same time, helping us put dinner on the table. He’s accessible, engaging, passionate without being preachy, always teaching, guiding, building understanding & generating respect for the many ways that farmers, chefs, restauranteurs, policy makers, and each and every one of us can contribute to a more sustainable and healthy food system. Another stellar Bittman endeavor…!

I’ve always enjoyed Mark Bittman’s unsnobby and unaffected way of talking about food—both high and low, complicated and simple. The Podcast is like being part of a friendly conversation.

Mark is showing us who we are. It’s not pretty. But you have to know it.

Have learned so much about food from him over the last decade. Excited to see meet his guests and see where this goes.

As a nutritionist and natural chef, using my skills as the Chief Innovation Officer at Foogal, I am always on the look out for tips and information and Mark doesn’t disappoint! I recommend Food with Mark Bittman for the novice and professional alike.

(For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term, a mensch is basically a boss.) He’s not just a great chef who shows everyone how to be one too, he’s warm and down to earth, incredibly knowledgable about any and all things food, and a truly good and decent person who is deeply involved with food policy and helping everyone eat well. His recipes are simple but miraculously good, and listening to his podcast is like sitting at the cool kids table if the cool kids are also smart, super-nice foodies. Yay!

I’ve been enjoying Mark Bittman’s recipes for years for their simplicity and tastiness. I look forward to enjoying the podcasts.

Bittman changed my life. I’ve always cooked. But it was something stoners might enjoy at the end of smoking session in the heart of the Inland Empire on a Tuesday night. Like mixing Emerils essence with Kroger’s Mac and Cheese (which actually isn’t that bad). Then in 2010 I saw the Minimalists videos and he made me laugh and taught me that I could do more. And I did. Bittmans love for food is so contagious he had me asking myself, what am I missing in life? Today, I make my own salad dressings (when I hated the salad), roast chickens, bake bread, eat things I never ever thought I would eat like pasta and sardines or cozze e fagioli, that are straight up transcendent. Bittman in other words liberates you from frozen or fast food and you enter the world of quality food made with love and with instructions simple enough for anyone. You know he’s done something right when you pass a restaurant, read the menu, turn away and say, I could do better. And now the podcast? Duh, of course I’m gonna listen.

Mark Bittman’s upcoming podcast “FOOD” is going to be fabulous, I cannot wait! I love how entertaining and informative Mark is when he’s sharing his passionate love of food. If the trailers are any indication, this is something worth waiting for week after week!

I learn so much from Mark. His guest lineup sounds fabulous and wide ranging. I anticipate many interesting questions asked and answered. Looking forward to it. Thank you, Mark Bittman!
