Episode notes
What does it mean to cook a meal that reminds you of home, when home is thousands of miles away?
In this first episode of Sazones Lejanos, three women invite us into their kitchens, and their memories. Ana Lucia (Colombia), Yaidelines (Cuba), and Suzanne (Côte d'Ivoire) share the meals, smells, and rituals that connect them to the places they left behind, and the quiet, everyday work of rebuilding a sense of home somewhere new.
Host Andrés Lozano Zamora begins with his own failed attempt at his mother's black beans, and from there, traces what cooking really means when you're far from where you learned it: not perfection, but persistence.
"Sometimes it is a Tuesday evening. A pot on the stove."
Sazones Lejanos: kitchens abroad, voices of survival.
