A storytelling podcast featuring stories & folklore with connected recipes & food history. Honouring the stories despite how tenuous the link to the recipe becomes.

I’m Rachel: a part-time storyteller, fascinated & sometimes alarmed by vintage cookbooks. I enjoy traveling the world & through time via the medium of food & stories. I love history, folklore, stories, cheese, cocktails & cats (not necessarily in that order). I’m on a never-ending mission to find the magic in the spaces between.

When your new letter about marmalade comes out on the same weekend as the judging of the Marmalade Awards there is a sort of glorious serendipity. Maybe it means you should read it 😋 https://dub.sh/marmalade-bread

It’s too late in the day really to share my latest letter From Marmalade to Butter’d Bread via Joy, Gratitude, Quince, Diagrams, Murder, 007 & Two Famous Bears. It is at least Valentines free. I haven’t even discussed the ‘restorative’ marmalades. Read for free: https://dub.sh/marmalade-bread

Exploring & improving our relationship with death through respectful enquiry

Also available wherever you listen to podcasts but they were from September/October 2021 so will be a way back in the episodes.

I’ve been trying to decide whether to link to storyteller interviews I did about food & stories & how they can heal communities but it feels like promoting myself too much. I also know that the people at the heart of these riots don’t want to find ways to live together, they want destruction & to rip communities apart. Hopefully they will soon be dealt with & the time for healing food & stories will come.

So in the interests of positive thinking & in case they can help:
