Description
Hosted by Abena Anim-SomuahProduced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine BakerEdited by Jenna SadhuRecorded at CityVox Studios in NYCThis week we look into the future with Sarah and Kaitlin Leung, the sisters behind the popular “The Woks of Life” food blog and cookbook. The authors founded the blog in 2013 with their parents, Bill and Judy, to connect with their Chinese heritage and family’s recipes. Since then, they’ve developed countless dishes and shared techniques and tips for making Chinese cuisine at home. Sarah and Kaitlin join host Abena Anim-Somuah to talk about the nuances of Chinese cooking in America, the importance of family recipes, how “The Woks of Life” went from blog to cookbook, and what it’s really like working with your family. (The sibling banter is not to be missed.) Plus, hear their Future Flash Five predictions and their voicemails to their future selves.Thank you to Kerrygold and Walmart for supporting our show.

Food & Culture Writer Bettina Makalintal: The Future Is No Recipes, Just Vibes: Hosted by Abena Anim-Somuah Produced by Kerry Diamond and Catherine Baker Edited by Jenna Sadhu Recorded at CityVox Studios This week, we look into the future with Bettina Makalintal, Senior Reporter at Eater and home cook behind the Instagram account @crispyegg420, where she celebrates her no-recipes, just-vibes ethos. Bettina, who grew up in the Philippines and suburban Philadelphia, has made the intersection of food and popular culture her specialty with stories on everything from the American Girl Pizza Hut collab to the return of the fruitcake. She talks with host Abena Anim-Somuah about her early days scooping ice cream and studying neuroscience, her advice for breaking into food media, the positive and negative impact of social media on global foods, and whether we’ve hit peak mushroom. Of course, don’t miss Bettina’s voicemail to her future self and her Future Flash Five predictions. Thank you to by The Future Of Food Is You
