Episode 163: Nourishing Asian Cuisine with Sophia Eng of Sprinkle with Soil

The Weston A. Price Foundation will be holding its annual Wise Traditions Conference at the end of October. Leading up to the event, Aaron Zober returns with his series speakers interviewing people who will be giving talks at the conference. His first is Sophia Eng of the blog Sprinkle with Soil, co-host of the podcast Call to Farms, and author of the cookbook and author of The Nourishing Asian Kitchen Cookbook. Since the pandemic, Sophia has gone from working in real estate in California to homesteading in Tennessee. She tells the listeners how her upbringing in Vietnamese culture has influenced her cooking in terms of the similarities between Asian cuisine she grew up with and Wise Traditions diet. Aaron and Sophia then get into the problems with MSG and why it isn’t needed to get the umami flavor. Plus what it means for Sophia's farm to be regenerative. And a preview of what Sophia will be discussing in her Wise Traditions Conference presentation entitled East Meets Weston A. Price: Nourishing Asian Cuisine Reimagined – A Journey To Reclaim Authentic Flavors, Free from MSG and Excitotoxins.
