    Ep 5 | Sayzie Koldys - ship steward

    Podcast interview with Sayzie Koldys, steward (cook) aboard educational sailing ships. In this role, she is responsible for provisioning and cooking for 30-40 hungry students and researchers for weeks at a time…all in a tiny kitchen that’s sometimes thousands of miles from the nearest grocery store. We learn how she came to cook on the high seas, what it means to eat sustainably abroad, and what to do when you’re in port and the mayor stops by with 14 of his hungry friends. Plus, one story that is truly shocking (or rather, was shocking to Sayzie).

Martha believes every story can be told through food.
