Amy Besa is a writer, speaker, and veteran restaurateur. Together with her husband Romy, she has led her restaurants - Cendrillon in the mid-90s and Purple Yam today - into critical acclaim long before Filipino food became the latest "food trend".

Her book, Memories of Philippine Kitchens, was the first Filipino cookbook I've read and along with her many posts on social media, formed the basis for a lot of what I know about Filipino food today.

In this inspiring and heartfelt conversation recorded right in Purple Yam, Amy talks about heady and philosophical concepts such as authenticity, romance, cultural appropriation/preservation, and our responsibility to understand our food, in a simple yet profound way.

Give this episode a listen for a glimpse into one of the most hopeful and wise takes on our food today!
