“Umma” Author Sarah Ahn On Family, Food, And Finding Her Voice


Listen Later

Today’s guest is viral culinary storyteller Sarah Ahn—creator of Ahnest Kitchen and co-author of the New York Times bestselling cookbook “Umma: A Korean Mom's Kitchen Wisdom and 100 Family Recipes” with her mother, Nam Soon Ahn. 

Sarah joins host Kerry Diamond to share the inspiration behind her intimate food writing, the bond she forged with her mother through cooking, and the journey from grief to gratitude that shaped her debut book. They also talk about her role at America's Test Kitchen, how she navigates vulnerability online, and why food remains one of the most powerful ways to keep memories alive.
