Creating memories one meal full#
The heartbeat of the podcast is "everyday" people with extraordinary stories (and the world is full of people like that). New flavors and techniques in each recipe teach us about the geography, history, and agricultural traditions of different lands and people groups. Often, they speak to the resilience of a family. Some dishes tell the story of comfort in heartache or nostalgia for "home". When it comes to the interview, the recipe is really just a springboard from which we dive deep into the guest's life story. The only rule for my guests is that they share a recipe cherished for it’s significance to their culture, heritage, or memories. The Storied Recipe is a unique podcast that effortlessly crosses the lines between the cooking, documentary, and culture genres. If you love a good food story, you've come to the right place!

When I specifically think of travel memories, I typically pull up evoke images of not only gorgeous landscapes, bustling cities, or quaint little villages, but also unhurried, lingering dinners, unforgettable pastries, better-than-anything-I’ve-ever-had-at-home pasta, or unique and playful main courses. For example, I fondly remember making dishes with my mother for family gatherings, Christmas Eve dinner at my grandparent’s house, my grandmother’s scrambled eggs, and sharing meals with good friends.
And when you combine smell and taste, it is quite literally what memories are made of.įor food-focused individuals like me, when I reflect on fond memories throughout my life, a lot of them include food in some way or another. But the sense of taste is certainly a close second, especially when you consider just how much of what you taste is impacted by your sense of smell.
Technically, the sense of smell is the sense most closely tied to memory. – The Harvard University Press on John S. Food is an effective trigger of deeper memories of feelings and emotions, internal states of the mind and body.”
The taste, smell, and texture of food can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back memories not just of eating food itself but also of place and setting. “We all have our food memories, some good and some bad.
