Our Relationship With Food and Culture

In this episode, we're joined by Nitisha Patel and Rosie Ginday MBE, who speak about our love for and relationship with food. This episode delves into the inspirations behind cooking and the cultural influences it has to play not just on what we eat but also on what we think.

Nitisha Patel is a Chef, Food Consultant and Author who discusses the story behind recipes and the familial connection that food plays in her life. Nitisha delves into the importance of food history, and she celebrates the differences in South Asian communities, which impacts spices, recipes and flavour.

Rosie Ginday MBE is the CEO and Founder of Miss Macroon who also mentors young people with multiple and complex needs. Rosie touches upon how her faith and culture have taught her about the community of food and why she hopes that older generations will pass down their culinary recipe secrets to not lose to the past. She has a real passion for food and delves into the power of change that food brings about in society.
