S6E3: Francesca Saraco "You also want to be able to bring those you have lost into present day. And through tradition is one of the only ways you can.‪"‬ The Root & Seed Podcast

    • Personal Journals

Exploring the role that tradition plays in one’s life feels pretty core to the Root & Seed community.  But what role does it play when you have lost a loved one?  And at an age when you just starting to "adult"? We explore this and more with Francesca Saraco, someone who is navigating the world after losing both her parents in her 20s. How food can be a great connector to those who have come before us, transporting us back to simpler, perhaps happier times.  How the honour of carrying forward those traditions is met in a way that is bittersweet.  And how traditions go beyond culture or ethnic background and are simply life traditions.  And don’t worry, Francesca is gracious enough to share her family’s tomato sauce recipe with us, and we will are all better for it. Check out her transcript for the recipe at rootandseed.com
