Sometimes the clearest way to see yourself is through a foreigner's eyes. Named after everyone's favorite Chinese-Irish deep-fried drunk snack, Spice Bags is a podcast about food in Ireland and beyond. Multi-cultural hosts Blanca, Mei and Dee--a Spanish food researcher, a Chinese American writer, and an Irish writer and editor--ask questions like: How did one enterprising Indian expat create a market for Indian cuisine in Dublin? Why are so many Irish cheeses made by women? Why is Irish tea different from that in the rest of the world? We also talk to the immigrants who are shaping the new Irish culinary scene. Find answers, laughs and interviews with Ireland's most interesting chefs and authors here. Spice Bags is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network (https://www.headstuff.org/spice-bags)

We talk to American-born editor, writer, and publisher, Kristin Jensen, who has had
quite the year. Founder of Blasta Books and Nine Bean Rows Books, as well as the
long-form magazine Scoop magazine (helmed by our own Dee Laffan), Kristin has been
shaking things up on the Irish food scene.
Her first endeavour, Tacos, written by our friend and guest Lily Ramirez, attracted
international attention. She’s published our mate and guest Kwanghi Chan’s book, Wok.
Her Nine Bean Rows book, And For The Mains, written by Gaz Smith and Rick Higgins,
won a much-coveted IACP award.
She’s also the publisher for our book, Soup!
Kristin tells us about her motivation for giving a voice and a platform for people who
were unheard; what makes an elegant recipe; what comprises a gorgeous cookbook;
and why her books should be accessible to everyone.
How does a graceful, well-mannered girl from Illinois start an Irish food writing
revolution? Tune in to find out.
