In the inaugural episode of Utah Folklife, cook Wendy Juarez tells her journey sharing Pre-Columbian recipes through her catering business, Prime Corn. While we may often think of food from Mexico as being meat-centric - think fajitas, carne asada, or carnitas - the food Wendy grew up with was almost completely vegan or vegetarian. Though these foods and recipes would ultimately come to be staples in her future business, this is just part of the story.
Join us on this episode as we explore topics of self-discovery and pride in one's identity, cooking and the multi-sensory experience, and how the way we feel and act impacts taste.
