The Food Podcast

  'Stories from the Kitchen Table with Molly Wizenberg' (The Silent Witness) Molly Wizenberg is a Seattle-based writer, blogger, restaurant owner, podcast co-host, home cook and a story teller.

Pepper. It's something I twist (and at one time shook) onto my food several times a day. But rarely have I thought about the peppercorns themselves... until I met Louise and Nigel Biggar of DRØM PEPPER. They call themselves peppermongers. Yes episode 12 of The Food Podcast is all about pepper. But, as always, we delve into more than just the story of an ingredient. We learn the Biggar's story, and the story of Cambodian peppercorns. We talk about the bittersweet path that Cambodian farmers have taken to revive the peppercorn industry after the Khmer Rouge years. We talk about the Biggar's fresh start in Toronto. We talk about saying YES in life, and the power of personal connections. And, there's a little gelato chat in there too. We also touch on: salt and pepper shakers - do people still use them? Or are they just cherished just by collectors? Or museums in Spain? Connections with people. Get full access to Food Stories at lindsaycameronwilson.substack.com/subscribe
