Dinner Last Night (with Emma & Dimity)
Weâre Emma & Dimityâidentical twins, mamas, and co-hosts of Dinner Last Night. When we became parents, figuring out what to make for dinnerâand how to get our families to eat itâwas hard. One minute, we were serving up a home-cooked meal; the next, we were in high-stakes negotiations over one bite of broccoli. Between finding time to shop and cook, dodging tantrums, balancing nutrition, and honoring traditions, we often felt like we were facing the daily dinner struggle alone.
So we started asking other parents, âWhat did you have for dinner last night?â We quickly learned weâre all connected by this daily ritualâbut also discovered a world of game-changing mealtime tricks and recipes. Thatâs why we started Dinner Last Night, a podcast where we swap unfiltered stories with parents around the world, diving into how culture, family dynamics, and daily rhythms shape mealtime. Whether itâs pasta from scratch or cereal in a pinch, every meal has a storyâone that proves weâre all in this delicious mess together.

To close out Season 1, weâre turning the microphones on ourselves. In this episode, we interview each other for the very first time and dive into all the things we usually ask our guests: our favorite holiday food traditions, the strangest things we ate growing up, and the rituals that make our familiesâŚwell, ours.
We also test our twin telepathy with some rapid-fire questions, and yesâwe are fully aware of how many times we say âamazing.â Feel free to make a drinking game out of it. đ
