Pepper & Me

The OG crew has joined forces for the first time in a long time to bring you this weeks episode of Around The Dinner Table. So much has changed since Cheire, Lorne and Cam all sat down for a podcast and so much continues to change and grow in the Pepper & Me, Cain & Abel and Fat God scene! Cherie has lots to report since getting back from New York, insights into where to eat, what to see a...

If Lorne could clap on cue, this episode might've started a whole lot smoother... Welcome back to the Dinner Table with Lorne, Em & Cam. This week we're unpacking the latest NZ brands making headlines for all the wrong reasons, Em discovers a few eye-opening farm-to-plate (and farm-to-fashion) facts that somehow escaped her until now, and Cam brings a collection of "interesting&qu...

Welcome back to the Around The Dinner Table Podcast! This week, you're joined by Cherie, Em and Cam. We get a little deeper than usual as we unpack the age-old question: does money really buy happiness? And at what point do you decide you have enough? We also recap our time at Fieldays, chat about Pepper & Me's upcoming 10th birthday celebrations, and share the excitement around our la...

Welcome back to the Table! Pull up a chair and join Cherie, Lorne and Em this week. We're talking wine, what's your go-to? Are you as hopeless as Em when it comes to ordering a bottle at a restaurant? Have you ever confidently ordered what you thought was a white, only for a red to arrive at the table? Meanwhile, Cherie is counting down the days until New York, but securing a reservation a...

Welcome to our new Around The Dinner Table location! We've moved into our new content studio, where we are transitioning to for all things podcast and social media!

Cherie enlightens us about peptides from the neighbour down the road, unsure about this one bu...

This week on Around the Dinner Table Podcast, things quickly turn into an awkward realisation that we don’t actually know as much about our own anatomy as we thought we did. Plus, we chat about our latest binge-watching obsession, Cherie's date night, we share an update on the new content house and changes coming to our podcast, we announce that we're coming to the Fieldays and touch on an...

This week on Around the Dinner Table you have the pick and mix combo of Cherie, Cam and Em . Cherie takes us through her Italian adventures, we unpack the dramas brewing in the chef world, deep dive into the origins of olive oil, and question why the simple European way of living feels so appealing. A little food, a little controversy, and a lot of yapping as always.

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...

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...

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....

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 b...

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.

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.
