Podcast appearances and mentions of sasha martin

On this week’s Fostering Change podcast, Rob and Dana talk to author and foster care survivor Sasha Martin. Sasha spent the first ten years of her life going back and forth between living with her mom and living in various foster homes. When she was 10 years old, she went to live with a family friend who became her permanent guardian. A few years later, they moved to Paris and then Luxemburg. Years later and after becoming a mother herself, Sasha discovered a love for cooking and set a goal to make a meal from every country in the world. She documented her recipes and stories and National Geographic published her book, Life from Scratch, in 2015. Listen as Sasha talks about her experiences in foster care, suffering tragic losses in her life, and how she found peace and belonging through a love of cooking.

This week on Milk Street Radio, we talk to blogger and writer Sasha Martin, who cooks through the alphabet starting with Afghanistan. “The first day we meet, the next day we are brothers,” Sasha says. “And this idea that when we sit down to the food and we put away our silverware and we’re eating with our hands and we’re having this communal meal something changes and indeed we sat around the table for a really long time that night and it was just a wonderful experience.” Christopher Kimball discusses Milk Street’s cookbook roundup for the year with editorial director J.M. Hirsch. We also learn how to transform an affordable cut of beef into a succulent holiday roast, and wine writer Stephen Meuse discusses the best wines for the season. Finally, we take your calls with Sarah Moulton.
