Reciprocity Radio: Recent Episodes
Reciprocity Radio
Reciprocity Radio seeks to tell the story of how we eat, cook, and share meals and recipes not only across kitchen tables, but across time, distance, and generations. The process of cooking and following a recipe can be seen as a kind of performance or sensory experience, connecting everyone who has previously prepared that same dish. Reciprocity Radio will explore the inherent intimacy of recipes, sharing those stories and experiences we create and share in kitchens and across counter tops.
