The Myth of Healthy Eating with Christina Chaey and Vanessa Rissetto Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

What does it mean to be healthy in 2021? We spent the majority of this year and last cooking and eating at home, and while we’re so sick of staring into our fridges, we did learn a thing or two along the way. For our inaugural episode, Amanda Shapiro is joined by BA senior food editor Christina Chaey, who recently wrote about redefining “healthy” for herself, and dietitian and food equity advocate Vanessa Rissetto, to talk about what those lessons were and how we’re cooking (or not cooking) now.

Today Alexis joins Amanda in the Zoom studio to talk about her lifelong love affair with wild edible plants, the racial history of trespassing laws, and what you can cook with the weeds in your very own backyard.

Episode 269: Rice 5.0 Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Yep, it's true. The Rice Wizards™ are back! For their fifth rice-centric installment, Carla and Amiel focus on what to do with leftovers. After that, we talk to chef and activist Reem Assil of Reem’s in the Bay Area. While she’s currently using her restaurants as commissary kitchens to feed the most vulnerable in her community, she’s also thinking about the future. What we need to strive for, she believes, is not the return of the restaurant industry as it once was, plagued with inequity. Instead, we have the opportunity to rewire the way it works from the ground up.
