Episode description as stored
We are looking at food stories from different cultures this week. First, documentarian and journalist Von Diaz joins us to talk about her latest book, Islas: A Celebration of Tropical Cooking .  She writes about island cuisine from all over the world and talks about her academic field research, the connections she feels when she is on an island, and the unique dishes she cooked and tasted for her book research. She found commonality among the islands in their cooking techniques, from grilling to smoking and marinating, and shares a delicious, iconic island recipe for  CHamoru Barbecue Chicken with Juanita’s Fina’denne’ . Then, best-selling author and  Jewish food authority Joan Nathan joins us to talk about her latest book, a memoir  My Life in Recipes, Food, Family and Memories. Joan chronicles her start in food, the people she met along the way, her passion for elevating the home cook and her devotion to the regular ritual of sitting down together for a meal.   Broadcast dates for this episode: April 5, 2024 (originally aired) March 28, 2025 (rebroadcast) Your support is a special ingredient in helping to make The Splendid Table.  Donate today
