Farm to Future

There’s not one way to eat sustainably. If you dig into your own culture, you’ll probably find traditional foods that are naturally in tune with the land - whether they make use of all parts of the animal, or indigenous varieties of corn or rice, or preservation techniques that don’t require a fridge. What traditional foods did you grow up with?

Today, Jane Z. sits down with award-winning poet and art critic John Yau, who curated the exhibit “Home Cooking,” now live at the LaiSun Keane Gallery in Boston until December 5. John Yau has published over 50 books of poetry, fiction, and art criticism. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1950 to Chinese emigrants, Yau attended Bard College and earned an MFA from Brooklyn College in 1978. His first book of poetry, Crossing Canal Street, was published in 1976. Since then, he has won acclaim for his poetry’s attentiveness to visual culture and linguistic surface. He currently teaches at the Mason Gross School of the Arts and Rutgers University, and lives in New York City.

How does a chef think about provenance? i.e. Where your food comes from? In this inaugural episode, Chef Adam Lamb takes us on a journey from South Florida to the Black Forest to North Carolina to show us how he puts together a menu that honors the land.

Adam M Lamb is a professional chef with 30 years of successes and failures, which he brings to his podcast Chef Life Radio, empowering culinary professionals to fuck the grind, and find their groove. He lives with his wife Jennifer in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where he produces a line of Pepper Sauces and makes goat cheese in his spare time.

Erica Zendell is a full-time traveler, writer, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) practitioner. This past April, Erica left a comfortable life of 9 years in Boston on an indefinite road trip to train, compete, and learn from the best in BJJ across the United States. In July, she quit her career in the tech industry to fully dedicate herself to living a story worth writing about for her first book. 

Erica holds a BA in Comparative Literature from Princeton University and a MBA from MIT, but her hardest-earned "degree" to date is her Purple Belt in BJJ under John Clarke. She's competed in nearly 40 grappling tournaments since 2017, and her proudest titles are a Bronze Medal at the 2020 IBJJF Pan American Championship and a Gold Medal at the 2020 IBJJF World Masters Championship. 

Her cross-country travel companions include her Subaru Forester, her significant other, and their miniature dachshund, Snickers.

Pascal Kriesche and Morgan Abraham are two engineers who took their love for smoothies and created Smoodi, the “Keurig for smoothies.” Pascal is a Mechanical Engineer from Germany who came to the U.S. for his MBA at Harvard Business School. Previously, he worked as a Strategy Consultant at the Boston Consulting Group and as Project leader for a Joint Venture in Mexico. Morgan is an inventor at heart. Having studied electrical engineering at McGill University and then Manufacturing engineering at MIT, he has a knack for new innovative technology from concept to reality. 

Hear about how Jane Z. (yours truly!) brought Pascal and Morgan together and how they then built their proprietary smoothie system, why they source their own frozen fruits from Mexico, and their pivot from serving smoothies in corporate offices to convenience stores.
