Healing through cultural food. How do the seasons teach us and guide us on what to eat. It’s important to remember our culture as it is the very ingredient of who we are. Food is our teacher, it teaches us about ourselves, how we eat, what we eat is important for our wellbeing. Being present across the table in our kitchen, is the most important executive position, in the lineage of our family line, we are the representatives of our past, present and what we sow into today is what is reaped into the future of our children we are the ambassadors to our family.
