How about we don't try to make food perfect, because it's not perfect, just like life's not perfect if you're recycling. The first step is reduce, then reuse, then recycle.
Ever wondered what it's like to be a Black food entrepreneur today? In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, Lachelle Cunningham shares her incredible journey through the culinary world. Based in the Twin Cities, Lachelle isn't just a chef; she's a powerhouse running a catering business, teaching at The Good Acre, and advocating for food as a tool for economic uplift and better health.
Lachelle opens up about the racial trauma faced by Black food entrepreneurs and how she helps her clients overcome these challenges to achieve their dreams. She sheds light on the often misunderstood aspects of the restaurant industry, offering a unique perspective that only someone with her experience can provide. But it doesn't stop there. Lachelle also gives practical advice for home cooks on how to waste less food and become less reliant on recipes.
Think like a caterer, she suggests, and you'll find yourself cleaning out your fridge more often and using up every last bit of produce. This episode is a rich tapestry of discussions that intersect food, entrepreneurship, race, and history. It's not just about cooking; it's about creating a sustainable future one meal at a time. Tune in for a conversation that's as nourishing for the mind as it is for the soul.
