Ken On Food: Food In 5 Minutes podcast

It doesn’t take long for Sunday to roll around these days and with my first coffee of the day in hand (or at least in a new Chilly’s mug beside me), I bring you the latest helping of Food In 5 Minutes.

If you’re a regular listener or reader you’ll know the drill – while the podcast is available now and hones in on five stories from the food world that you may have missed this past week, there’s also a broader newsletter that’s available via Substack and it drops free every Sunday. It’s called The Week In Food, it includes details on the stories you’ll hear in the podcast, plus some additional reading, recipes to try for the week ahead, a podcast pick for your ears and more.
