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.

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 challenge 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, work 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.

With a knack for fostering connection and community, Dimity understands the magic of shared meals and the delightful chaos of family dinners. She swore she wouldn’t be a short-order cook, but here she is, whipping up gourmet meals tailored to each kid’s whims! When she’s not discussing dinner with parents worldwide, you’ll find her playing soccer, coaching her sons' teams, advocating for local education issues, or exploring the great outdoors.

Praise for DLN

"Dinner Last Night is such a sweet treat. Dimity and Emma's authenticity and curiosity make these conversations a lovely listen. I've definitely come away with new ways to think about food and family."
"These twins weave together personal stories, big themes around food, culture, and food access, and humor to create a show that is so easy to listen to and always lifts my mood! And their voices are irresistible. Fun to try to tell them apart."
"I'm driving to the city and listening to Dinner Last Night and I am blown away! I can't believe how professional and entertaining it is!"
"I listened to a DLN podcast yesterday (Episode 3, Rony!), and now I'm on Episode 2! Officially starting my binge."
"Amazing second episode of your podcast. I instigated Two Truths, One Lie at the dinner table after listening and it was so fun."
