About this listen

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.

    Episode 1: MasterChef Season 16 E1: Europe
    Apr 24 2026

    Before the podcast, before the chaos, there was a moment that changed everything. In this first episode, Heidi Stark and Finley Brown introduce themselves, their books, and the completely unhinged friendship that brought you Wicked Appetite. But first—we need to talk about what Finley did on national television.

    Season 16 of MasterChef opens with eight contestants battling for a spot on Team Europe. The pressure is high, the stakes are real, and Finley Brown—dark romance and splatterpunk horror author, walking plot twist, and one of your two new favorite people—decides the best way to impress Gordon Ramsay is to write and recite an original romance passage. About Gordon Ramsay. To Gordon Ramsay's face.

    This is who we are. Welcome to Wicked Appetite.
