Flavourful Bonds Part 3: Resilience in the Ruptures
Episode 37

How do food and culinary traditions reflect resilience, forgiveness, and hope?
In this episode I look at the character strengths of forgiveness, hope and perspective through the lens of food in Pakistan and also Vietnam and Portugal. Three countries that have experienced upheaval and rupture. Through personal stories and culinary traditions I illustrate how these strengths manifest in the kitchen and during travels, emphasizing the importance of food in preserving memory, fostering connection, and enabling healing.
You will hear reflections on:
