Impact Strategist Amelia Pape and Wonder Root, Turmeric

PDX Food Stories

Today on the show, impact strategist Amelia Pape. Full Disclosure, Amelia and I worked together for several years while she was running her mobile grocery store and her work began to impact the way I think about food, my access to food, and my privilege when it comes to the range of choice when it comes to what I choose to buy and eat. That said, today’s show isn’t heavy, but a big topic that deserves attention, and Amelia is a patient guide through the food insecurity landscape of Portland. I hope you’ll stick with it, and come away with a nugget or two. Closing out the show, I take a look at the culinary darling Turmeric, with Sarah and Dirk Marshall. We explore ways to use it fresh in the kitchen, and how to elevate preserves with this medicinal root.
