Happy New Year, my friends! What’s the key to doing hard things in 2022 (because you know, even in the best of years, hard things are coming, right)? Today’s guest, Theresa Korte, one of the chocolate-making sisters from last month’s episode, talks openly today about the hard things that a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis has thrust upon her. She also shares how she has met these hard things with grief and resilience, and the way food and food blogging has helped her meet the challenges and overcome the losses MS has handed her. This is a valuable episode for so many reasons – not least of which, as a reminder that everyone has a story behind their story – who knew these high achieving chocolate makers had struggles, burdens, and hardships like everyone else? Of course, we all should have, but it’s so easy to forget!

More About The Storied Recipe PodcastThe concept of The Storied Recipe is unique – every guest gives me a recipe that represents a cherished memory, custom, or person. 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.
