“But who actually has the time to cook this way?” Our guest Alison Kay hears that a lot when she shares about her passion for ancestral eating. But for Alison, sourcing ingredients locally and preparing it in a way inspired by our great-great-grandmothers isn’t a chore or a time-suck, and it’s definitely not romanticizing the past. Instead, it’s a crucial way she expresses her creativity, connects with her community, and cares for herself and her family.
In this episode, a continuation of our conversation from Episode 36, Alison explains why this way of cooking and eating has been so life-changing for her, and offers a close-up look at how she actually incorporates ancestral philosophies into her modern kitchen.
