Radish pancakes and a scientific look at where our sense of self comes from (they’re kind of related, I promise).
Thank you for your patience as I worked to produce this episode! I know, it took me a little longer. I am taking a spring/summer break from production to be with family (reunion!!!!) and plan out season 2. If you have an idea for an episode, I’d love to hear about it :) Email me at recipesforlife@substack.com or via Instagram @nicole.bassolino. Whether you have a recipe that has been passed down through the generations and is loaded with history and butter, a dish that got you through a tough time, maybe not even anything food-related, but rather a recipe for the perfect outfit, the perfect song.... pitch it! The world is our oyster and no idea is off the table. Talk soon :)

A tofu-shiitake mushroom stir fry my dad learned as a foreign exchange student in Nanjing, served with a side of his advice for anyone considering a big move—new city, country, job, etc.—and a helping of bravery to take the road less traveled, even if it scares you.
