Let’s face it: the demand for what we eat and drink has given rise to mind-boggling innovation and delicious cuisine, but often in the wake of slave trades and rebellions in equal measure. Decolonize Your Dish is the premiere podcast serving up fresh looks at everything edible through the lens of history & culture. Tune in for spicy interviews with artists, musicians, authors, chefs, and more. As our host, Sunyatta Amen, offers her hot takes on the politics behind the plates, the conversations will get heated, humorous and will have us all hungry by the end of each episode. (Secret recipes and tips included!) About the host: Sunyatta Amen has spent her life researching, crafting, and serving magical food. From her time behind the counter at her parent’s healthfood stores in New York City all the way to her reimagining of that concept into the multi-award-winning CALABASH Tea & Tonic in Washington, DC, the culture behind cuisine has been her passion. For more than three decades, Sunyatta has been a highly sought-after authority on wellness and indigenous foodways.
