Possessing a cuisine that includes stinky, fermented foods, fertilized duck eggs, and blood stews can make transitions to another culture difficult. But Yana Gilbuena doesn’t shy away from her cultural foods. As a matter for fact, she introduces them to people unapologetically and passionately through her Kamayan Feasts.

Listen as Yana shares some of her favorite childhood food memories, the inspiration behind her pop-up Kamayan Feasts, and her call to honor and celebrate heritage and culture.

I generally play host and narrator to the stories featured in the podcast. I may add a little clarity at times or help the transition from one topic to the next. But in this episode, I actually have a more active role.

I can't remember a time when I wasn't interested in food. I loved, and still love cooking and sharing food with family and friends. When I met my birth mother for the first time, it became very apparent where this passion had come from.

For Judy Van Leuven, her Grandma Kennedy’s Fried Chicken recipe is a way to reconnect with her childhood and family. It’s a recipe that appeared on the Sunday Supper table every week, but never on a recipe card.

Listen as Judy recalls memories of a grandma who ran a local lunch counter, food memories of growing up in small Western Montana town, and her recollections of one of her favorite recipes.

Amanda learned the skill of entertaining from her artist mother whose dedication to detail was unparalleled and whose desire to expose her family to the tastes of world was evident at the dinner table.

Some stories carry with them a spark. This story of wild cranberries and growing up on a Northern Minnesota farm was the spark that ignited a project. This project in fact.
It’s a short story, but a powerful story about how food has the power to conjure up memories of people, places, and a time that was not necessarily easy, but simple.

Food has a magical ability to tap into our memories. It can carry us to places far-far away or very close to home; to a time almost forgotten or right at the forefront of our memory.

Cookbooks are as varied as the authors who write them and foodies who consume them. They can be beautifully bound works of art or practical resources. Either way, they provide inspiration. And sometimes that inspiration goes beyond the kitchen.

Listen as writer, artist, and food lover Matt Terrell recounts how his favorite style of cookbook influenced a unique writing project that resulted in a fictional cookbook. Yes, you read that right, a fictional cookbook. Which, if you really think about it isn't so far fetched. Our cookbooks are more than just a list of ingredients and methods. They tell many stories.
