Welcome today to Kathiana LeJeune. Kathiana, a Haitian-American who currently works for National Geographic, has recently written a book titled The Power of the Palate all about cultural diplomacy through food. In this episode, Kathiana shares how her mother, grandparents, and uncles naturally engaged in cultural diplomacy all the time, changing the lives of everyone around them - and how our local schools have an opportunity to do just this every day at lunchtime. Kathiana also shares the Haitian way to cook a turkey (you may want to try this involved method for Thanksgiving!) and Soup Joumou. Kathiane shares the powerful reason that this soup is a celebration of liberation and why every Haitian eats it Haitian Independence Day - also New Year’s Day. With all that said, welcome again to Kathiana and I’d especially like to welcome YOU, listener, to the show today.

I actually make, photograph, and share the recipe. During the interview, I discuss the memories and culture around the recipe, and also my experience (especially my mistakes and questions!) as I tried it. My listeners and I are a community that believes food is a love language unto itself. With every episode, we become better cooks and global citizens, more grateful for the gift of food, and we honor those that loved us through their cooking.
