Wicked Appetite
Two dark romance authors walk into a kitchen. What follows is part book club, part cooking show, part therapy session — and entirely unhinged. Heidi Stark and Finley Brown met on MasterChef, survived it, and have been unable to shut up about books and food ever since. Every episode they're diving into the dark romance world, the chaos of competitive cooking, and the very fine line between a morally grey hero and a man who can't dice an onion. Pull up a chair. Dinner is served.
