A once a week update on all things food/family/community/gardening/whatever! We call it SideCar—if it has to do with rituals around food and holidays, making food, or taking it places, or remembering what we were eating during important times in our lives, we’ll talk about it here. (The entire first season and part of the second season can be currently found under the Two Chocolate Cakes podcast feed, while I move all the episodes over to this feed) Support this podcast: https://podcasters.s ...

Two Chocolate Cakes, A Culinary Memoir follows the writer from one of her earliest family memories—making a scratch chocolate cake with a purloined recipe for her father’s birthday, a cake he would never eat on his birthday because he would be passed out drunk before the sun would set, to another chocolate cake, made by strangers but sent by friends, some 40 years later, and all the culinary and emotional layers in between those moments.
