When the Cake Talks

The When the Cake Talks Foodcast is an exciting new podcast about food and culture hosted by a British historian and a Taiwanese anthropologist of food.

The foodcast has four strands:
1. Puddingology: where we examine British desserts and sweet treats, their history, recipes and tastes.
2. Beyond Bao: an exploration of Taiwanese food, which is more than just the world famous baozi buns.
3. Food and Travel in the UK: including some of our personal experiences.
4. The Global Table: about food cultures and food from across the world, with a few guests.

Do let us know what you think and we would love to hear about your stories on the subjects we discuss. We hope you enjoy the show!
