Welcome to this summer retrospective series. One of my favorite things about this podcast is that it’s truly a community of guests and listeners, where you often connect with each other, apart from me. When guests share so deeply and vulnerably with us, the listeners, I think it’s important to stay in touch and continue to conversation, as much as possible. In this spirit, I reached out to a few guests for follow-up interviews this summer. These interviews are each 30 minutes or less and totally un-edited so you’re getting the raw thoughts of both myself and my guests. First in this series, I’m thrilled to welcome Anela Malik, guest of Ep. 024 Food is Political (But What Does That Mean?). I thought of Anela for this series because she’s gone through an absolutely seismic shift of career since our interview. After Feed The Malik went viral last June, Anela was faced with an avalanche of new decisions, opportunities, and challenges. Listen in as Anela explains how she navigated these changes, why she chose to leave a prestigious career as a US diplomat - the career she worked all the way through graduate school for - and the surprising thing that was most difficult about all the changes. Also, although Anela continues to advocate for the marginalized, especially the black community, through the avenue of food in a full-time position, she’s changed her view of her work and we get into her updated viewpoints, specifically realities she had to accept when going full-time and choices she made to better support the community through her much larger platform Finally, Anela shares about the book National Geographic has selected HER to write! We discuss both her goal and her process for this book, which I CANNOT wait to read when it's released.

I make, photograph, and share these recipes on my food and photography blog, www.thestoriedrecipe.com. During the interview, we use the recipe as a springboard and dive deep into the guest's life experiences, culture, and expertise. As a community, we become more grateful for the gift of food, better cooks and global citizens, and we honor those that loved us through their cooking. Support the podcast with a share or review: The Storied Recipe is more than a podcast. It is a community of curious, thoughtful individuals that love food, culture, and people. I depend on the community for feedback and the growth of the podcast. If you enjoyed this episode, would you please consider sending it to a friend or family member?
