Episode 2: Arroz Caldo with Nicole Cruz

We’re joined by Nicole Cruz, Life & Leadership Coach to 1st & 2nd generation immigrants, to talk about her childhood sick-day soup, Arroz Caldo. We talk about the importance of food in Filipino culture, honoring our elders through their recipes, and how younger generations are crafting their relationship to culture and food in new ways. Plus, the future of Filipino food: not ube everything!

Episode 1: Minced Beef with Peas with Margot Seeto & Samson Lee

It’s our very first episode! We’re talking to Bay Area food & travel writer Margot Seeto who helped inspire this whole dang thing. We’ll talk with her about minced beef with peas—aka Peas a la Seeto at her house—and how she and Sam both had this as kids but with wildly different experiences at home. We also get into gender roles in the kitchen, cooking for our own kids, and Costco as a love language.
