Pepper & Me

We’re back in your ears with a BANG this week!Short & sweet, but definitely not shy of giggles, gossip and goings-on at Pepper & Me HQ.It’s Winter Range launch week, we unpack whether AI is taking over the food space, Em questions if she picked up diseases from Hamilton, and what on earth has been going on with Lorne lately…Grab a seat at the table

Cherie and Lorne are MIA… so Cam and Em step in as the long-lost relatives . Joined by Michael (out from behind the scenes).Cam debriefs us on a whirlwind business trip through Vietnam and China, sharing a few interesting insights along the way! We get into the Temu takeover, electric cars, and somehow… aliens make the agenda.Pull up a chair.

Back at the table with Cherie and Em — this week we’re fresh off a few Flavours of Plenty adventures in the Bay, sharing the standout eats and re-capping another successful event. We get into our non-negotiable pantry staples, plus a few very funny perimenopause stories from Cherie that you simply couldn’t script.It’s a bit of food chat, a bit of life chat, and the usual tangents in between.Pull up a seat.

This week on Around the Dinner Table, it’s the self proclaimed personality votes, Cherie and Em —covering everything from the sharing bath towels , bedroom hygiene confessions, and our best eats of the week. We get into a flavours review and recap, and somehow find ourselves discussing an early entry into retirement homes.

This week on Around the Dinner Table, it’s a proper catch-up with a few questionable life choices sprinkled in.Cherie shares her tragic campground story (yes, she’s blaming perimenopause), we unpack how we handled Cyclone Vaianu — what we nailed and what we absolutely did not — and we get into the chaos behind Cain & Abel’s Mother’s Day promo.

This week on Around the Dinner Table — Fat God has launched, a finishing olive oil from Greece, the glimmers we've been holding onto, people who are inspiring us right now, the usual bread nonsense, and sardines on toast. Grab a seat.

The boys are away, so this week it’s a quieter, more candid kind of episode.On Around the Dinner Table podcast, Cherie Metcalfe and Em sit down for a thoughtful girls-only chat — covering everything from our Chic or Bleak takes, to the idea of “glimmers” — those small, grounding moments that bring a bit of light into everyday life.We also put the viral lemon juice and olive oil shot to the test (with mixed feelings), navigate the surprisingly tricky task of what to buy a 10-year-old, and touch on the very real experience of still not quite feeling confident with makeup.It’s honest, slightly unfiltered, and a reminder that most of us are still figuring things out as we go.

We got a producer. We got a run sheet. Things just got serious. This week Cherie, Cam and Em are back at the dinner table with chic or bleak debates, business updates, a deep dive into Netflix's manosphere documentary, and Em's viral pickle dip that has the internet going wild — but does it actually taste good? As always, the convos get real, the laughs get loud, and nothing is off limits. Around the dinner table — where good food meets great chaos.

WE’RE BACK 🍸Around the Dinner Table is back in your ears and this one’s a proper catch-up. Cherie, Cam & Em are talking ten years of Pepper & Me (how did that happen?), the launch of FatGod — our bold, peppery Greek olive oil — plus filthy martinis, good food, and the kind of chats that usually happen when you’re lingering around the table long after dinner.Expect a bit of business, a bit of banter, and plenty of food chat along the way. Pull up a chair and join us.

This week on Around the Dinner Table by Pepper & Me, we deep dive into the *really* important stuff — like what makes the perfect glass of water, where are the best places to travel in Europe, and a taste of our icks. It’s funny, a little bit irrelevant, but completely entertaining. Tune in for another round of unfiltered dinner table chat. 🍷💬

This week on Around the Dinner Table, Cherie’s back from a girls’ trip to Waiheke — slightly sun-kissed, highly hydrated (with wine), and full of stories. We rant about moudly outdoor furniture, bizarre drink trends, new restaurants in town and everything in between. We're on a podcast roll! If you're enjoying Around the Dinner Table, make sure you let us know of any hot topics you'd like to hear about!

This week on Around The Dinner Table, Cherie, Cam, and Lorne dive into a bit of everything — from the wild world of crypto drama, to Black Friday chaos, and even a few wholesome chats about gardening.Grab your cuppa, pull up a chair, and join the conversation. It’s real talk, a few laughs, and all the Pepper & Me goodness you know and love.

Pull up a chair and join Cherie, Cam and Lorne Around the Dinner Table! This week we chat all things Pepper & Me’s new cookbook, advent calendars, the chaotic fun of book tours around the country, and a few good yarns about life right now. Pour yourself a drink and tune in on YouTube or Spotify 🍷✨
