Have you heard the episode with Liz Zunon, Author and Illustrator of the stunningly beautiful autobiographical children's book Grandpa Cacao? If not, you'll want to either pause this right now and go back and listen to it!!!!
Grandpa Cacao's Granddaughter was one of my favorite episodes ever. We discusses Liz's years in the Ivory Coast and her Ivorian family that worked the cacao farms there. Liz gives us a bit of an education on chocolate farming and the definition of fair trade chocolate. We also discuss Liz's artistic process in creating this truly beautiful and uplifting book about the power of cooking to connect generations, even across continents.
So again, if you haven't listened yet - listen to the original Liz Zunon episode here!!
And if you *have* listened, I am so excited to welcome Liz back to discuss the reception of her book. We also talk about the 18 books she's now illustrated at this point in her career and all the different techniques she's used - including hand stitching dresses for her most recent project! Liz also shares some happy news from her personal life just in time for Valentine’s Day this week.

More About The Storied Recipe Podcast
The concept of The Storied Recipe is unique - every guest gives me a recipe that represents a cherished memory, custom, or person. I actually make, photograph, and share the recipe. During the interview, I discuss the memories and culture around the recipe, and also my experience (especially my mistakes and questions!) as I tried it. My listeners and I are a community that believes food is a love language unto itself. With every episode, we become better cooks and global citizens, more grateful for the gift of food, and we honor those that loved us through their cooking.
