In this episode, we sit down with Boone-based Thai cook and community creator Sherri Pengjad, whose kitchen is filled with more than just flavor it’s full of heart, heritage, and connection. Sherri shares how her love for Thai cooking became a bridge between cultures, a way to celebrate her roots while building community right here in the High Country. From the lessons she learned growing up to the joy she finds in sharing meals with others, Sherri’s story reminds us that food is one of the most beautiful ways to tell our stories.
