Recipe Challenge

Recipe Challenge is the podcast that turns cooking into a friendly and fun game. Once a month, hosts Katie and Rebecca each choose a recipe for the other to cook based on a theme and then come together to debate, taste test and declare a winner. Which recipe was so delicious, fun to make and visually appealing that they'll both make it again? Find out and get recipes to add to your own repertoire.
