From Takeaways to Real Cooking: Trying Poppy Cooks Air Fryer & Slow Cooker Recipes

In this special episode of The Middle-aged Bodcast, Raging Rich and T.A. Shelano swap takeaways for tongs and tackle a home-cooked meal each – one from a slow cooker, the other in the air fryer. Inspired by Poppy O’Toole’s cookbooks, the lads step out of their culinary comfort zones and share their experiences (and mishaps) with buffalo chicken and lemon-honey skewers.

They chat about learning to cook in midlife, building confidence in the kitchen, and how these small changes tie into bigger goals around health, wellbeing, and saving money. There’s humour, honesty, and a few unexpected revelations along the way (yes, Rich has a spice cupboard now).

If you’re curious about simple meals, midlife motivation, or just want to hear two blokes navigate the world of home cooking, this one’s for you.
