So personal and relatable

Love the podcast! Food and diverse culture are the two things that fascinates me the most in the world, and so glad to find the show has both.

Be ready to learn and cry!

Listened to this as I’m preparing this year’s Thanksgiving meal and it’s beyond perfect. Food has more meaning than cute IG pictures and HuffPost captured the sentiment perfectly in this Podcast. Thank you!
