The concept of The Storied Recipe podcast is unique. Each weekly guest gives me a recipe that represents a cherished memory, custom, or person.

I actually make, photograph, and post the recipes that my guests share with me and the listeners of the podcast. During the interview, we discuss the memories and culture around the recipe, and also my experience (especially my mistakes and questions!) as I tried it. 

My listeners and I are a community that believes food is a love language unto itself. With every episode, we become better cooks and global citizens, more grateful for the gift of food, and we honor those that loved us through their cooking. 

The images in this gallery represent the stories of those guests. Each one was photographed to accompany an episode. My goal in styling the images - from choosing the colors, props, ingredients and actions - was to honor the storyteller, her dish, memories, and culture.
