Hi there! I'm Stephanie, thrilled to be kicking off our first episode of The Slow Living Kitchen Podcast. You're stepping into a special space where we see food as more than just something to eat—it's a way to connect with the earth, each other, and the best versions of ourselves.

Today, we're starting a journey together. It's all about embracing that concept of slow living—taking a beat to really sync up with the earth's natural rhythms and weave them into our day-to-day life. As someone who's spent a good chunk of time writing about food, from the stories behind restaurants to the ins and outs of farming and food culture, I've seen first-hand how powerful it can be when we live in harmony with the seasons. It's not just fulfilling; it's transformative.

The Slow Living Kitchen isn't about getting away from it all; it's about finding a new way through—understanding the value of slowing down, being mindful, and making sustainable choices. And, of course, it's about how all this plays out in the heart of our homes: the kitchen.
