Many people choose not to drink alcohol for various reasons, as a host it’s always nice to have something special for those guests. There is a world of “mocktails” out there but here is a special holiday one created just for The Story with Charu listeners:
Apple Ginger Sparkler:
Blend Sparkling Apple Juice (we used Martinelli’s Brand) with equal parts Ginger Beer (we used CannonBorough)
More juice will make it sweet and more ginger beer will make it tart. You can add club soda or seltzer to add fizz.
We topped this with a dried, candied orange but a piece of crystalized ginger could work too! Check out https://www.instagram.com/thestorywithcharu/?hl=en to take a look at the results.www.charukumarhia.com

Matthew Raiford was winning accolades in the food world, traveling, writing amazing cookbooks, meeting other foodie folks - but something was drawing him back to Georgia.
His family has owned and operated Gilliard Farms in Burnswick, GA for centuries. For context, this is the same part of the southeast where Ahmaud Arbery was brutally killed while jogging, the crime covered up until the public outcry grew to a zenith.

Yvonne Liu could not stop herself from writing and her best work is when she tells her own story.
She was found on a Hong Kong staircase as a baby and then spent the next several months in an orphanage. A Chinese-American couple adopted her but her childhood was full of emotional and physical abuse.
In 2021 she submitted a brief synopsis of her story to the New York Times Tiny Love Stories section. Even though it was a tiny love story, it captivated many readers.
In our interview Liu talks about the healing power of writing and the impact telling your story can have on others.

About The Story with Charu
From the publisher's feed
What are the stories we are told and what are the stories we believe? In most newsrooms across the world there is a morning meeting where reporters discuss the most important stories of the day and…
which ones to put resources into covering. We live in a time where information comes at us fast. It’s hard to take a breath or know what to trust. Knowledge is power, and when you know better you do better. I want to explore the questions we need to be asking, the stories we need to hear and what exactly is the truth.
