“Food has always been tied to revolution. The minute you take bread away from people—or rice, whatever is the staple—that’s when really terrible things have happened. But food has also been the answer in lots of terrible moments in time, and it’s reshaped the lens that I look at history with.”
Cookbook author and podcast host Julia Turshen discusses the crucial role food played during the Civil Rights Movement and the Stonewall Uprising, the unifying human connection that cooking creates, and the correlation between her Jewish identity and her love of food, eating, and gathering together for meals.
