During this crazy, difficult and strange pandemic year, cooking and eating has helped many of us take care of ourselves and each other. So we’re devoting this week's episode to talking all about food as a love language. You’ll hear from Danny Lavery and Chronicle reporter Annie Vainshtein, who have found joy, comfort, and sometimes even anxiety at the thought of having to prepare a meal. And we’ll get to know Susanna Zaraysky, a San Jose woman who prepares and delivers elaborate meal packages as a way to stay connected with her father, who lives in a nursing home.
