Have you noticed the mega-rolls of toilet paper for some equally mega prices? Did you notice the change by Anchor to a 200g butter block down from 250g? On this episode, Malaika & Harleigh unpack Shrinkflation and the rising costs of our weekly shops despite feeling like we've bought far less products. Join the conversation!

Autumn (Fall) has become a commercialised season all unto itself and apparently it means buying pumpkin spice everything. Pumpkin spice candles, lattes and even houmous. Harleigh's a fan and Malaika just doesn't get the hype. Which side of the pumpkin spice debate are you on?

Sonder & Salt: a weekly food podcast about the magic of eating.

This week, the celebration of Black History Month continues as we ask what the future of Black British cuisine looks like and what a hypothetical Black British cookbook would include. Can you envision a Bajan Flying Fish & Chips or a Jollof Quinoa being documented as staples in Black British cuisine? Listen to Part 1 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all other podcast platforms.

Harleigh & Malaika also review their joint food(ie) highlight of the week: An Evening With Sonder & Salt. Thank you to everyone who attended for the very first Sonder & Salt live, celebrating one year of Sonder & Salt.

Happy Black History Month! This is part 1 of 2 in our conversation about Black British cuisine. Malaika and Harleigh discuss if there is a real Black British culture and if Black British cuisine will ever be as established as Black food in the US? If Black British food doesn't evolve, will it just end up as a commemoration of our parent's home cooking? Join the conversation...

Sonder & Salt is a weekly food podcast about the magic of eating.

For this (rather lengthy) mini-sode, Malaika and Harleigh jump onto a trending topic over on X about a well known black owned pub, Prince of Peckham, that hosts the non-black owned residency ‘White Men Can’t Jerk’. Is this a harmful or playful play on words? Are patrons of WMCJ enabling erasure of genuine Jamaican and Jerk establishments? Is there more that black chefs and restauranteurs could be doing to ensure their businesses are ready to grow in residency spaces like this? Join the conversation…  

Note: this is a remote recording, so the quality of the audio is not our usual.

Harleigh and Malaika follow on from last week's food hygiene and home episode to venture into restaurant kitchens, decoding food hygiene ratings and understanding exactly what is getting scored. Does a 5* quality restaurant always have a top cleanliness rating? Harleigh is shocked to find out the rating of her local mini-marts and Malaika is pleasantly surprised by her local favourites.

There are rules and regulations surrounding food hygiene on farms, in factories and restaurants, but standards vary from country to country and in some cases state to state. The average consumers expectations of food hygiene when out and about are rightfully high but... what's going on at home? Are we keeping our home kitchens to the standards we expect of restaurants? Do you really know how to clean? Would your kitchen actually get a good food hygiene rating?
