Cooking and Crime

The Ratcliffe Highway Murders in Old London is a mystery with so many twists we had to do it in two parts. Though we passed on the blood sausage, we did have some spotted dick. Join us for two murder sprees and one suspect stuck in a crossroads like a vampire - in 1811.

Did Rebecca Zahau tie a rope to her neck - with her hands and feet bound - then hurl herself over a balcony? Or did someone else? Impossible murder or the weirdest suicide ever. You decide.

You will never look at a jar of smooth or crunchy the same way again. Join us as we explore the case of a man so evil he turned peanut butter into a weapon of mass destruction.

The Axeman terrorized 1919 New Orleans. The only thing that kept them going in those dark times was their delicious jambalaya. At least that's our story.

Canada is the OPEC of maple syrup. So you shouldn't be surprised that some people set up an elaborate scheme to steal millions of dollars of Amber Gold. You also shouldn't be surprised if this episode makes you crave waffles.

If a man who castrated himself tells you to kill yourself, would you? What if he bought you a savory turkey pot pie and scrumptious blueberry cheesecake first? Well, we all have our price.

Zankou's chicken and garlic sauce are delicious - but enough to die for? Join us for a family tragedy and the meal that made them famous.

Welcome to Cooking and Crime, where we try to have a fun time talking about a crime and sampling a meal or food related to said crime. None of us is a professional chef, so there will be plenty of fails in the Cooking department, but we'll talk about it all, and share pictures and recipes with you.

You may know us from our Weird World podcast (which we are still doing, every Wednesday). We're the Wehrli family - mom, dad, high school and college aged kids. We gotta feed 'em, so we figured we'd work it all around a podcast and share it with the world.
