The Transcript
Here’s something to think about for Season 06 of the CulturallyOurs podcast – Forget the world at your fingertips, instead go for the world at your table. So, what does that really mean? Are you ready to jump in and find out?
While there is a special sense of comfort in the tried, tested, and known, we all know that sometimes there is that insatiable urge to explore, experiment and try something bold, new and exciting. While you all know how much I love to travel, I know that many times it is not easy to just pick up, pack up and head out the door at a moment’s notice. We all have limitations. Commitments that cannot be ignored. And there is nothing wrong with that. But an easy way to explore the world without leaving the comfort of your own home is to cook the world and bring the world to your table. With a few spices and a stove, we can, literally, eat our way around the globe together. Like I said right at the start, forget the world at your fingertips, instead go for the world at your table.
Welcome to season 06, yes 06 of the CulturallyOurs podcast. This one has been a long time coming. Not only because it kicks off the third year of the CulturallyOurs podcast and platform but also because food is such an essential for everyone. With so many different cultural cuisines around the world, I am really excited to explore food from around the world and the people who are generously welcoming us into their homes and kitchens.
This season marks three years of this platform and I am so glad you are here. It has been an incredible journey to get here – so much of blood sweat and tears but also so many incredible adventures, meaningful connections, and people I am so honored to call friends from all over the world. I must admit this season was hard for me. Hard because I am not the world’s greatest cook. Okay that’s kind of putting it mildly – I am quite a bad cook. But I am not upset about it. I am mature enough to understand that it’s a skill I don’t have – to be creative in the kitchen. And I practice my creativity elsewhere. So, when I took this mindset, the season just magically flowed together.
From indigenous chefs to food bloggers, to culinary artists to farmers and everyone else in between, we look at food in all its glory. What inspires people to cook? How lifestyles are built around food and much more. We look at this concept of comfort food and the healing power of food. My goal and aim with this season are multifold. I want us to become a conscious eater. I want us to get exposed to different cultures by way of food. I want us to become excited of walking into the kitchen and figuring out something to make and lastly, I want us to learn to appreciate all that we cook and eat. There is joy in not only eating good food but also preparing it.
So as always pull up a chair, grab something to eat or drink and lean in for a listen. Welcome to Season 06 – Exploring Global Cuisines.
