Über diesen Titel

We’re Emma & Dimity—identical twins, mamas, and co-hosts of Dinner Last Night.


When we became parents, figuring out what to make for dinner—and how to get our families to eat it—was 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, “what did you have for dinner last night?” We quickly learned we’re all connected by this daily ritual—but also discovered a world of game-changing mealtime tricks and recipes.


That’s 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 it’s pasta from scratch or cereal in a pinch, every meal has a story—one that proves we’re all in this delicious mess together.

    Reuben Beck (Our Cousin!): Actor and Foodie on Scottish Fare and Gaelic Roots
    Dec 7 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with our hilarious, big-hearted Scottish cousin, Reuben Beck, and our first-ever non-parent guest. Dimity’s youngest, Kai, kicks things off with the cutest intro, and then we dive into all things Scotland: Beltane and witchy vibes, Gaelic roots, traditional breakfasts (yes, haggis!), The Selkirk Grace, and Reuben’s family history of crofting and living close to the land. We talk about how food is medicine, why ingredients in the U.S. can feel so different from Europe, and how herbalism and local food show up in both Scotland and Upstate NY. We also shout out Wildfire Delicatessen, the best little sandwich shop and bakery in Gourock. And to cap it off in time for the New Year, we sing the Robert Burns classic, Old Lang Syne!

    Nov 23 2025

    Laura Arteaga is the creator behind Six Hungry Feet, a blog she started during COVID to document and share her family’s vegetarian and vegan recipes. Hailing from the island of Mallorca, Laura grew up in a traditional Spanish family and switched to vegetarianism after meeting her Irish husband, who grew up in a vegetarian family. In this episode, Laura talks about feeling aligned in her career and lifestyle after leaving her job as a financial controller to be a full-time blogger and vegan nutritionist. We also dive into the challenges of making sure her family gets enough protein and how to navigate gestational diabetes. She also tells us about their family’s time living abroad in Malaysia. This one is for the veggies out there!

    We cover:

    • Plant-based eating with kids
    • Gestational diabetes and how a vegetarian diet can help
    • How to choose tofu at the store, and go-to methods for cooking tofu that tastes good
    • Debunking the myth around estrogen and soy
    • How the COVID shutdown allowed Laura to step into an aligned career and lifestyle
    • What the Spanish culture and daily schedule actually looks like (hint: there’s no siesta, really)
    • Balancing life in a Spanish-Irish family
    • Moving and living abroad with kids
