Ep 127 Melissa Guerra: Food, Glorious Food!
Show Notes

Everything is made up of an interesting combination of ingredients, whether it be flora, fauna or food.  

Melissa Guerra, the Kitchen Wrangler and cultural foodie extraordinaire, can look at a delicious meal and not only see the food, she sees the history behind it.  The Culinary Institute of America graduate and James Beard Award finalist is a powerhouse personality with a keen brain that thrives on finding the delicious connections between people, history and food.  She shares all that knowledge on her YouTube Channel and blog site, and searches out new ways to bring meaning to eating - the thing we usually do three times a day, but don’t think about as much as we should.  We can personally attest to the delicious nature of her recipes, and hope that you feel the urge to find out more so you can do the same.

Life as a foundation-family Texan (okay, before it was Texas, actually) only got spicier when Melissa married Kiko Guerra, who is an artist of renown and descendant of a Spanish land-grant family himself.  The two of them together are an exercise in appreciation for the timeless beauty that life holds, whether it be on the canvas or in the kitchen.
