Al Roker is a master storyteller. The episodes unveil the human journey in remarkable ways. Cloaked behind great recipes are stories of the lived experiences of the chefs. Al is an amazing interviewer. ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF MY WEEK

Since I was 5 years old, My parents have watched NBC morning and at 5pm back in the early 70’s. Early…. 70’s lol love your recipes!

Please do Season 2!! Really Enjoyed!

More Episodes Please

I love Al Roker he’s amazing. His voice is so soothing. I enjoyed the pod cast let me say i have never listened to an entire session of a podcast. It was engaging from the sounds to the jazz music which I love. Ina is my girl love her as well one of my favs. I’m currently on episode 2 now. Please do season 2 and more.

Al Roker is a true gem and this format makes him shine in remarkable ways! All of the guests and the way each episode played as a course in a meal… totally engaging, very inclusive, and delightfully playful all while being super educational and informative. Keep it going!!!

I am now finding time to listen to the final episode - what a joy as each episode brought a smile to my face. Al, you’ve got to do this again for 2022 Thanksgiving with different chefs! Thanks, Al! 🤗

Just like a warm hug! :)

Al is such a great storyteller & his enthusiasm for food makes this a great listen. Even though I’m not cooking for Thanksgiving this year this was still an enjoyable podcast with great guests.

I love listening to podcast when I am in the car. This one is the best one I have heard!!!

I love this podcast I’m so excited for more episodes

Enjoyable conversation.

Please don’t stop. Ever. Crazy about Al Roker, Outstanding, unique human. We need more of Al in any venue. A legend, living in his own wake. Please don’t stop podcasting. I am a well textured southern cook that enjoys preparing many cultural dishes, as well as my root southern cuisine. Please don’t stop. Ever.

I’m only three episodes in and am absolutely loving it. Al Roker is a great host. The guest chefs have obviously have a lot of knowledge but I really enjoy those little tidbits of cooking insights. Love the easy flow of conversation between Al and the chefs.

I really enjoyed this series, especially the insights shared by the cooks on their family traditions. The episode on wojapi was particularly informative and poignant. I love diversity of guests and their unique take on the various ingredients/dishes. I really hope Al continues this series; would love to see him take on regional cuisines.

I heard you tell Craig that you make the best turkey so I’ve been waiting to hear the recipe but haven’t yet. Just wondering if you will be sharing that?

I really enjoyed each & every episode, so much fun!

Just the perfect pre-Thanksgiving activity! What could be better than hanging out with Al and his cooking expert buddies as they share recipes and life stories. Such a lovely few minutes with a gentle and charming spirit! Thanks for the company and helpful ideas!

Love al, love Ina and loved this podcast! Changing my traditional mashed to Ina’s smashed potatoes!

This was fun to listen to with all the different chefs and non-common-traditional recipes. It hope that there are plans to continue this podcast with holiday recipes throughout the year.

Good recipes served with Al’s authentic personality! So fun to listen to, plus you come away with a good recipe by a master chef.

I’m listening the second time through! Al makes this series so much fun. I learned a lot and so glad this is far enough before Thanksgiving so I can include the oyster dressing!!

This has been such a fun podcast to listen to. I’ve learned so much and have enjoyed hearing from chefs, both ones that are familiar to me and being introduced to new ones. Al is a great host and I also appreciate the time length because they are quick to get through but packed with information. I hope this continues beyond Thanksgiving because it has been very enjoyable.

Love this series! Hope Al keeps it going. I’d listen to every single episode.

I saw enjoy listening to Al and all of his guests I learned so many wonderful recipes and great add-ons. I’ve been cooking Thanksgiving meals for 40+ years and this year have some new ingredients to try a little bit a honey little bit of chipotle thank you thank you thank you, this was invaluable!!!🧡🧡🧡💛💛💛🤎🤎🤎

Love this podcast! Excellent interviews and sincerely expressed. Please keep going beyond Thanksgiving. Food, community, learning how others cook and increasing appreciation for all is important everyday of the year. This podcast is also great for kids. I know they would really enjoy. Thank you Al for what you do and what you stand for.

Thanks Al for a fun and relaxing podcast about Thanksgiving foods. I am looking forward to trying several of the recipes. Yummy yummy.

Al and his guests are a delight - only problem was listening while I was driving I got SUPER hungry!! A great show!

So excited to listen to the discussion on indigenous food and Thanksgiving holiday. Simple and straightforward recipe and advice on how best to celebrate.

This podcast was so encouraging and uplifting to me! Thank you Al and all the guests for the wonderful recipes and the positive energy that I did not realize was missing from my cooking experience. I was especially inspired by Sohla’s story of inviting strangers to dinner. I will be cooking a Thanksgiving dinner with new meaning this year.

I have really enjoyed these podcast and it has had me relook at each piece of the Thanksgiving meal and the memories I have had through out my life. I love the different cultures of the guest chefs and how they share their experiences of the holiday and how they have celebrated it considering how many of them are so busy on Thanksgiving. This podcast is a great reminder that this is the one holiday with no religious affiliation and all about food and gathering. The last two years made the gathering part hard but to celebrate each piece of a meal that brings people together makes this podcast great. As I prepare some of these sides, and spatchcock my Turkey I will think of Al and his chef friends during the day. Thanks for bringing happiness into our home through your podcast!

I love cooking and also love my daily 5 mile walks… So , thank you Al Roker and guests! I’ve already added most of these recipes to my Thanksgiving meal plan! PS. For those of you who walk and listen to this podcast, being a napkin as your mouth will definitely drool listening to the recipes!!!

Loved it. Looking forward to next one !

I really enjoyed the diversity of dishes and chefs that you interviewed. I not only learned about interesting ways to change up thanksgiving food but how the chefs incorporate their own cultures into thanksgiving.

Really like this podcast the food, the different chefs and the relevant cooking questions.

Enjoyed the conversation and the cooking tips

Easy and fun listening with wonderful guests. Recipes are so doable that I can’t wait to head into the kitchen to make!

Listening to Al Roker and celebrate chefs while I’m cooking inspires me to do a better job in the kitchen. I love all the tips and fun questions and answers along with the fun upbeat music! Hope these pod casts continue as I’d go through all of them before Thanksgiving! Keep them coming Al Roker! From a fan, Cheryl R in Boise, Id

What a terrible podcast to go with an equally trash person. Al Roker is biased, does not understand fact from fiction, and is such a mean spirited, awful human being. Al, you are trash! Go forecast some more Bull since you are such a liar.

Hi? Al I love your podcast I love to cook

Al Roker reacted to this review’s title. Hey Al, ever play freeze tag?

After listening to the turkey episode I think I’m going to give it a whirl! Wish I could watch a video too now to get visuals to help me successfully recreate the recipe.

Nothing better then my afternoon with Al and his friends . My Thanksgiving will have many new items! Thanks Debbie

I can’t wait to get home and try this recipe! Sorry, I can’t wait until thanksgiving!

Very informal and creative. Please keep it up 👍

Al is such a good cook and to have Ina Garten to share with is awesome.

Thanks to all of you for listening to this podcast. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. I am giving you all 5 ***** !!!

Al Roker is a natural for the podcast. Hope it goes beyond Thanksgiving!!

Love this and the theme that runs through it, here expressed by Alexander Small, “if you’re going to host Thanksgiving, you have to do it with huge generosity and that generosity comes through the food.”

Hi Al, congratulations on your new “Cooking with Al” podcast. I absolutely love the episodes and feel that I am right there at a dinner party with you guys. As a podcaster myself of “Hospitality Forward,” I know how much love, passion and talent go into each episode, so I appreciate what you do even more. Can’t wait for the next episode. Go, Al!
