We're sharing YOUR favorite episodes from the past two seasons, all August long in a #SummerReplay13 series.

First up, is the conversation with Freda Muyambo, a food blogger and writer with expertise in African cuisine and a passion for sharing African culture through food. She often describes herself as having a pan-African palate, having been born and raised in Botswana to Ghanaian parents and traveling extensively across Africa. She has explored culinary cultures across the broad and bold topic of African cuisine and will often experiment with using ingredients in a new way.

Her position as one of Africa's most innovative food experts was cemented in December 2015 during a live BBC interview where she presented yam pasta, a novel pasta dough recipe she had invented just the night before, using West African yams. Up until this point, there was no other record of yam pasta having been made. She has also had features on CNN and the African Economist as one of Africa’s top food bloggers. She has written for various online and offline publications including IAC Media (About.com/The Spruce Eats), The Guardian, Radiant Health Magazine and co-authored a spice book published by Penguin Random House group this coming October 2018. Her expertise is highly sought after, where she works with local and international brands developing recipes to help them reach new markets.

Freda dropped SO many gems in this conversation that we made this a two-part episode situation. The second part of the conversation can be heard in Season 1, episode 8.
