Bitter/Sweet

So soothing, so heartfelt, such a tremendous capsule of intergenerational succession. “You see other people and you look at them, and you try it out…. Maybe the first time you try it, don’t come out as nice as the person do it, you do a little bit more and a likkle more until you get it. That’s it.” – Mama J. You can hear this wisdom acted on throughout the crafting of this project. There’s something even more special about a reluctant participant that drops gems unknowingly. Mama J hits a home run. I’m intrigued in hearing what Natasha cooks up next. It’s bound to be a well-balanced dish, even if it’s a little bit bittersweet.

This podcast is a masterclass in how to combine quiet intimacy, fierce intelligence & deep soul. The hosts voice is like smooth caramel: soothing and delicious. My favourite podcast of 2023.

I lost my mother last month, so this hits close to the bone. I now understand her obsession with the packed freezer/cupboards. I miss her fish fritters, fried chicken and curry goat. This was a therapeutic listen.

Left me nourished and hungry at the same time x
