A few years ago, I started talking about longer tables when others wanted to build higher walls.
It was my way of saying that we need to talk to each other, to enjoy our differences, to celebrate our diversity. Not push people away because they look or sound different. That’s why I’m launching Longer Tables on Substack. It’s a home for stories that show how food connects us. Each week, I’ll explore our shared food history and food future.
I’ll also answer your cooking questions, post cool interviews with my food heroes, plus video postcards from my home and from my travels.
People of the world: I know the news today can feel dark. But we also need to make the space for joy and hope. Together we can channel the power of food to change things for the better.
It all starts with building longer tables.
