A sound... An aroma... A taste... Can make you feel at home.
A Taste of Home is a multimedia project that explores how food has a deep connection to our memories, culture, and family. The documentary shares the story of Mandana Moghaddam and her Persian roots, while the podcast examines the topic more broadly with other voices.
Through interviews with individuals operating at the intersection of culture and food, as well as some of the people that they have touched, this project examines the ways in which food can take us through different places and times, and, ultimately, bring us back home.
