    An absolutely scrumptious podcast!
    I’ve only just recently discovered this brilliant podcast. I don’t know what it is about listening to this mum and daughter duo — but they are fabulous. I adore the range of people that they interview — always an interesting/entertaining conversation. The relationship and banter between Jessie and Lennie is intoxicatingly heartwarming and makes me ache for a good old chat with my own mum. Also, I have to agree with a few other reviews… listening to them eat and chew is rather addicting and oddly satisfying. Best of luck on all your future podcast endeavors. Love to you both from the shores of Lake Huron in the great mitten state of Michigan. -Ashley

    Love the podcast!
    Have you ever thought of putting the recipes in your show notes? I for one would love that. They sound delicious!
  • GreyLee
    The best podcast, PERIOD
    Honestly where have I been the past 5 years ?! I’ve just discovered this podcast in November 2023. And I’ve been going thru the back catalog. It is such a joy to listen. It’s funny and captivating and hella entertaining. I’ve been a big fan of Jesse’s music. Now I just love her and her mom Lenny so much.

    A Jessie & Lennie Devotee
    This brings me so much joy. I often listen on subway rides and flights - the conversation keeps me happily distracted. I get so many restaurant tips that I often have to stop and take notes. There’s such an ease to the conversation - which speaks volumes about the enviable relationship Jessie and Lennie share. This is a 10/10 every time.

    Listening to Miriam talk with her mouth full is painful. I love the show. I’m glad most guests chew and chat at separate times……

    Thank you for the laughs

    More food talk
    Love this show!!! Unlike any other. My only request is more food talk less acting/politics/anything too far away from food
  • G’Uncle Todd
    Delightfully Deliciously Funny!
    Love love love love love …. And I suggested Jessie’s pregnancy podcast to my niece. Y’all’s perspectives on childbirth are similar. Thanks for the love of laughter. Love of food. Jessie sing sing song. What’s Your Pleasure got me thru the pandemic. And is still on repeat because it’s f’n fantastic. I played it at a dinner party. And the question “who’s music is this?” was asked. Shazam was utilized. So happy to expose people to your wonderful person!

    I absolutely love this program. Jessie and Lennie feel like family. Not episode goes by where I do not laugh, salivate, and feel comforted. It is easily re-listenable. I have listened to Alan Carr’s episode at least 4 times. I will never miss it as long as it is produced and I can hear!
  • jammie mcjammerson
    bringing realness
    the realness with which these ladies approach conversation is so refreshing. what a lovely discovery this show has been. and i'm always excited to hear what Ma has cooked up! only critique: you know Jess, if you wanted to sing a little bit with your musician guests, i'm sure no one out here in audienceland would mind!..

    so perfect
    so funny so perfect so pure i am in love

    Hilarious food talk
    Lennie and Jessie make my day every time I listen to them! I laugh and smile the whole way through. They have amazing guests and talk food-what could be better! I just wish I could pull up a chair at the table they sit around with their guests.

    Love the pod, not a fan of cancelling the LA show without notice
    Bought tickets to the widely publicised LA show in Dec as a birthday gift for a dear British friend who is an expat. Flew in from Denver (sadly, not first class Virgin Atlantic!), took a 1.5 hour Uber, went to venue only to find they knew nothing of the show. There was actually a wake going on in the adjacent cemetery! On 4/24 episode they say the cancellation was beyond their control, but I have to believe it could have been communicated better. Luckily, dear friend & I had a good (albeit very expensive) laugh about the adventure.

    I’m so glad you’re back for another season! Can’t wait to hear every episode. Love you both!!!

    Casual yet rich listening.
    I just recently discovered this podcast and BOY OH BOY, has it been a godsend during global quarantine. There is enough structure to facilitate wonderful conversations, but it’s not so rigid that answers start to sound canned. You can hear the appreciation guests have for Jessie and Lennie’s hospitality and lovely home cooking as well as their cheeky banter. I’m also a yank and a sucker for Brit slang and chatter, so it’s really A+ all around. Subscribe NOW, and listen while you cook, puzzle, walk your dog, whatever. So good! Thanks gals. UPDATE: still love this pod, but Jessie and Lennie has a bad habit of interrupting their guests, which is especially annoying when the latter is trying to explain something. Just let them finish!

Love love love your show … I usually listen when I’m out hiking ( no Jessie.. not when I’m walking to the shops 😉)or out kayaking .My daughter ( lives outside London , in Chesham and she and her husband are expecting their first baby in January 🥰🥰). She got me on to your podcast … and in turn I got my step daughter ( Jessie) to listen . We all love the show .

  • Ianapolis
    Obsessed!!
    I’m late to the party here but I’m at the party now! I was telling a friend about my love of Jessie ware and then had to google her for something and that is when I found out about this podcast. I am beyond delighted!!! After going through cooking fatigue from my pandemic lockdown lifestyle this has ignited my cooking passion and continued my love of Jessie. Oh, and sweet sweet Lennie… I love them both. I want to cook for them, be their friend, and anything in between. Oh, and they better be getting some royalties from Ottelenghi! They turned me on to him and his food too. Thank you so much Jessie and Lennie!! Sending love from Minnesota, USA.

    I wish you were a daily podcast. I ADORE listening to you two. It doesn’t matter who you’re talking to. It is always a great laugh, completely fulfilling and leaves me wanting more. You are pure comfort and joy and I’d give A LOT to be at your table myself! Thank you both. You are fabulous!
  • VSW in WI
    This podcast is a GEM!
    Do yourself a favor and listen to the Tom Jones episode. Love how very genuine Jessie and Lennie are with their guests, and their meal with Tom Jones is really “Top of the charts!” (All due respect to Prince).
  • rcdevine
    Laura Mvula
    What a thrill to have my two favs combined in this episode! I have loved Laura Mvula since my daughter introduced me to her music in 2013. (can’t wait for her new album release and hoping🤞for a US tour soon!). Jesse and Lennie became a part of my world when I discovered Table Manners a year ago - they were my daily companions as I caught up on all the back episodes - while on walks, in the garden, while cleaning house, working... Now I have to wait a whole week for a new episode 😞 I love them, love their guests - love their witty banter. Keep it coming! Cheers!
  • Same Initials as Elvis
    Thanks for this kickass podcast!
    I’m listening to Dolly Parton tell Jessie and Lennie about ‘’a bunch of horny hillbillies in the mountains,’’ and I am so glad I found this gem. 😻 Jessie Ware (and her mom!) have ruled my spring so far. So glad I stumbled upon What’s Your Pleasure (🌟SUBLIME🌟) and equally glad I googled JW and found this pod. I love knowing that I’ve got multiple seasons to enjoy. 😻 Cheers to you both!
  • CS-Tampa
    Lovely show !

  • SallyLadyC
    My guilty pleasure
    I have so fallen in love with Jessie and Lenny, they are just so delicious and naughty and captivating. The past couple of months listening to all the old episode they literally got me through a heartbreak. Also they have turned me on to such a wealth of other personalities that weren’t in my stratosphere. Thank you lovely ladies.

    My Happy Place
    I can’t get enough of this podcast. It’s like a warm blanket on a cold day. I love the warmth of Lennie and Jessie, the ease of the conversation, and hearing about everyone’s Desert Island meal. I think I’ve listened to the Antoni episode about 5 times now!
  • Suzie.Gies
    Love this podcast! Great dialogue.
    I’ve just found this podcast and have been bingeing through all the seasons. This podcast makes me feel at home and in the kitchen with them. Currently on the Dermot O’Leary episode and I have to wonder if your Uber rating is being affected by you ubering Hens to each other!😂😂
  • mollyateoatmeal
    The most charming podcast
    This podcast is just the loveliest thing! I love hearing about Lenny’s recipes and Jessie and Lenny’s mother-daughter dynamic. Such a joy.
  • Brian Goulet
    Nice Mum and Daughter Duo
    but way tooooo much profanity. They’re funny enough without all the tasteless, common vulgar words.
  • MarkChicagoIL
    Great Funny Podcast
    I gave this podcast 5 stars, but sometimes the ladies are talking over each other to much.
