Bento Box Your Life with Kate Inglis
Kate Inglis is a multi-creative - a writer, photographer, a brand strategist, a champion thrifter with the best tickle trunk around. She’s a magical host of workshops, of outdoor gatherings, she’s a lover of the outside, a skier, a mountain biker, and a wood chopper. And now, a person who’s been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that required her to overhaul her life. Kate is here today to tell us about this diagnosis, how it dragged her through the fire, and what it feels like to be living on the other side.We discuss:Kate Inglis’s websiteKate’s InstagramDr. Mark Hyman - functional medicine and foodDr. Andrew Huberman - sleepWim Hof - cold and breath therapyChef Laura Rodriguez - 'anti-inflammatory comfort food'—everyone is unique, and food protocols vary, but she hits the broad strokesThe Happy Pear - Irish Sea sunrise dipsKate’s favourite recipes right now:Raw Oreo Cookies — I have these in my freezer all the time. I had googled 'sugar-free dairy-free grain-free gluten-free cookies' as a grumpy joke and now these are a staple. The cookie dough and cream filling are made in the bullet blender. Best eaten straight out of the freezer. Melty and rich and so lovely.Savory Chickpea Pancakes—I googled these after having them in a restaurant in Toronto, with a warm roasted beet salad on top. These are so fast and easy to make, and could easily be made sweet instead of savory. Made a little thicker, they make almost a flatbread—an excellent replacement for a pita and filled with pork tenderloin or chicken and (cashew cream) tzatziki with cucumber. So yummy.Corn-Free Cornbread—Another chickpea flour triumph, found while experimenting to make a Thanksgiving stuffing. Such a good feeling to find that as well as a delicious vegan gravy—which combined, these two cover me for all the fall and winter holidays.CreditsHosted by Lindsay Cameron WilsonEdited by Abby CerquitellaTheme song is One More Night by Jenn Grant Follow: @thefoodpodcast and @lindsaycameronwilson Get full access to Food Stories at lindsaycameronwilson.substack.com/subscribe

The Flavour of Comfort with Sherrie Graham
This episode is all about leaning into what brings us comfort. Comfort is different for everyone; it’s all about finding out what resonates with you. Teacher and multi-creative force Sherrie Graham weighs in on her ultimate comfort - old episodes of the television show Murder, She Wrote. For her son, it’s gaming. I love to make quince paste. My husband plays D&D. We’re all different. There’s beauty in those differences, and privilege that we get to choose comfort in the first place. Celebrate it, if you can.We discuss:Artist Mary PrattMurder, She Wrote starring Angela LandsburyArtist Cecil DayWriter Celeste Ng WellingtonFarm.ca - a blog by Sherrie GrahamGlennon Doyle's podcastLindsay's Newsletter CreditsHosted by Lindsay Cameron WilsonEdited by Abby CerquitellaTheme song is One More Night by Jenn Grant Follow: @thefoodpodcast and @lindsaycameronwilson Get full access to Food Stories at lindsaycameronwilson.substack.com/subscribe

A Knife in Her Underwear Drawer with Anna Lee Hirschi
In this episode writer and political organizer Anna Lee Hirschi shares her essay Having your Cake. The essay prompted thoughts on food as an escape, as a tool for sharing, and the importance of cherishing food all alone, just for the pleasure of it. We dip into the wisdom of Claudia Roden and we eat a Sephardic orange and almond cake. There’s a moment with M.F.K Fisher and a tangerine, and a peanut butter sandwich with my dad.

Collections and Cookbooks with Kris Warman
In this episode I talk with Kris Warman, a cookbook reviewer living in Halifax, NS, whose weekly meals are shaped by recipes tested from the cookbooks that come through her door. Kris has amassed hundreds of cookbooks in the process, and together they have become one of her many collections. I set out to ask Kris what makes makes a great cookbook, but we ended up exploring what it means to collect things, what stewardship involves, and what it takes to let these collections go. It’s an honest, funny, soul searching and very flavourful conversation, this week, on The Food Podcast.

Making a Mark with Nicola Bennett
In this, our second episode of the season, we patch in abstract artist Nicola Bennet from her studio in New Zealand. Nicola’s art practice is fed by food. For Nicola it all begins in the kitchen where she gets to know an ingredient - like ripe apricots, black truffles, or feijoas - then she cooks with the ingredient, tastes it, inhales it, perhaps squishes it in her hands until a connection is made. Then, she heads into her studio and begins the process of creating a painting, usually as big as Nicola, inspired by what’s on the plate. We explore this process, how it came to be, how her senses inform each painting, and how Nicola knows when the work ‘tastes just right.’ This episode is a sensory explosion, a trip to a home by a waterfall, it’s a riot of colour, of flavour, and a chat with a friend.

Finding Home with Fanny Singer
Fanny Singer eats a green salad every day. Her ritual begins with the washing of lettuce: rinsing in cold water, a few times, then scattering across a tea towel and rolling said towel like biscuit dough into a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll, or ‘lettuce baby’ as it’s known in the Singer/Waters kitchen, is then tucked into the fridge until it’s time to eat. It’s these little windows of detail - gentle guidance mixed with whimsy - that Fanny shares in her recent memoir, Always Home. Fanny is a writer, art critic, curator, editor and co-founder of the design brand Permanent Collection, and daughter of the chef, educator and organic farming champion Alice Waters. Singer spent over a decade studying and living in England, but has recently returned home to Northern California. We explore the concept of home in this episode, through travel, words, memory, our senses, and of course salad and soup. And we’ll discover how it feels to find home, wherever you go, on this episode of The Food Podcast.www.thefoodpodcast.comhttps://fannysinger.com/IG @fannysinger@lindsaycameronwilson@thefoodpodcast Mentioned in this episode:Richard Hamilton’s Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?Fanny at Chez PanisseFanny in FranceMy Family and Other Animals, by Gerard DurrellPaulson Press, Berkeley Get full access to Food Stories at lindsaycameronwilson.substack.com/subscribe
