    Bok Choy with Sarah Leung of The Woks of Life, and Christina Chan of Choy Division

    Michelle and Lindsey in conversation with Sarah Leung, of the Woks of Life, and Christina Chan of Choy Division. Learn about why these women were inspired to bring their family traditions to a larger audience, and also how to grow and prepare bok choy.  Sarah Leung, The Woks of Life Sarah Leung is a food blogger, photographer, and one of the founders of The Woks of Life, a multigenerational family blog she runs with her parents Bill and Judy Leung and sister Kaitlin Leung. What began in 2013 as a quest to record their family’s history through food has become a robust online community, an authority on Chinese cooking, and a platform to tell stories and share food across distances, demystifying traditional Chinese cooking and creating recipes for a new generation. https://thewoksoflife.com/ Christina Chan, Choy Division Christina Chan is the owner and farmer of Choy Division, which is the culmination of her passions and interests.  As a native New Yorker and second-generation Chinese-American, she often felt torn between being American and being Chinese. Sustainably growing Asian vegetables has been a way of connecting the two halves of herself, of finding her way back home, and of reconnecting with her culture and her family.  For her, farming is about more than putting seeds in the ground, it is about the cultivation of the community around you. After all, food is what connects each and every one of us. She believes that fresh, locally grown food is a right, not a privilege, and strives to make her produce accessible to all communities. She has worked at Stepney City Farm,(London, UK),  Randall’s Island Urban Farm, (New York, NY), Rise & Root Farm (Chester, NY) and counts herself incredibly lucky to have mentors in Larry Tse of Dig Acres, Kristyn Leach of Namu Farm, and Dan McManus of Common Hands Farm. https://www.instagram.com/choydivision/ More episode links: Second Generation Seeds https://www.secondgenerationseeds.com/our-seeds Kitazawa Seed Company https://www.kitazawaseed.com/index.html

    Lamb with Wilson da Costa of MISTO, and Nicole Scott of the Glynwood Center

    Learn about cooking, selecting, and raising lamb with two experts: Chef Wilson da Costa of Misto and Nicole Scott of Glynwood.  Nicole Scott is the Livestock Manager at the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming. She is responsible for all aspects of Glynwood’s diversified, certified Animal Welfare Approved livestock operation. In this role she manages herd health and nutritional management of all stock, as well as teaching apprentices how to manage five different species in a pasture-based system. Nicole began farming on a small hog operation in the Finger Lakes Region. Nicole moved to New Zealand in 2018 to work on different sheep, beef, and deer operations that ranged in size from 1,000-hectare lowland to 18,000-hectare high country stations throughout the North and South Islands.  https://www.glynwood.org/ Chef Wilson da Costa, who was born in Brazil, felt a passion for food at an early age and, when he moved to New York at 11, spent much of his youth watching cooking programs with his grandmother and learning from her. After a stint working as part of a pit crew for an import car racing company, he dove headfirst into New York’s restaurant scene. He started at Neuville-Sur-Seine, a French restaurant in Long Island, then hopped to Manhattan Bistro in SoHo. Wilson and his wife Nadia presently run the wildly popular Hudson Valley popup restaurant and catering company, Misto. Misto is a new culinary project that focuses on their unique cultural heritages and wood-fired food.
