Soul Food Sisters is a collective based in Glasgow and is run by migrant women who are driven by their love of making and sharing delicious food.

In collaboration with Bella Caledonia, we got the chance to speak with their volunteer coordinator, Djamila Siagh, to discuss the work of the organisation and the value and power of food and community.

Description: Can sis white men stop stealing the work of women, LGBTQI+NB and POC? Apparently not. And, apparently, they can't even do due diligence to protect it. We’re off hiatus for a bonus episode in which we discuss how a White Man Stole From A Newsletter About For Women/Trans/Non-Binary people to Brand His Shitty, Redundant Food Platform. AKA, How Mark Bittman via Medium.com stole from Salty. We also give you an update on Season Two of the podcast and throw some zesty nuggets in like how to tell what kind of L word character you are by designing a soup. It can’t be all appropriation, colonialism and tired patriarchal tropes….

In part two of our series on brewing, we talk with Agi Gajic, the head brewer of Sparkke. Sparkke is a woman founded and operated alcohol company challenging the status quo with their progressive labels, groundbreaking flavours and staunch commitment to starting a conversation. We talk about their struggles, triumphs and the being a non-white male brewer in the alcohol business.

The beer industry is riddled with bigotry and the same oppressive structures of big-player gastronomy. Our two part series "Brews Clues’’ explore how, why and how it really is. In our first episode, we ask the question: When it comes beer, where is the line between harmful and empowering? We interview journalist Lena Rutkowski about her campaign for accountability in the aftermath of Mikkeller and Girls Are Awesome collaborating on "Female" a "beer for women".

In this episode we talk with Mary Scherpe (@stilinberlin on all platforms) about digital media, community, food, and you guessed it, feminism. If you've been to Berlin in the last 12+ years and typed in 'where to eat' chances are you have landed with Mary's blog Stil in Berlin. Mary is also the co-founder of the Feminist Food Club - a community and network dedicated to aligning women and non-binary people in the industry.

Consider this bonus episode a Corporate Cop meets W(h)ine Time special, whereby Amanda and KB take the time to reflect on the live podcast event with Ruby Tandoh, the beauty of International Women’s Day, and the joys of large corporations jumping on such days to make a quick buck (Read: Brewdog’s Pink IPA).

Our second episode features academic and food journalist Aida Baghernejad. Aida has written for publications like Munchies, TIPP, Intro and Mit Vergnügen. Aida is currently completing her PhD on street food markets and small scale-economy at the King’s College London and the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. In conversation with Aida we delve into the topic of cultural appropriation in food, questions of ownership, identity,  innovation and the nuances within these discourses.
