Pachoto PodcastThe Podcast where African food Intersects with African health and African culture. Author: Cordialis Msora Kasago
In Africa, food tells the vibrant story of everyday life. From the jolly market lady hawking fresh okra, just picked leafy greens and ruby red tomatoes to the bride serving her new husband a feast of traditional favorites, food is the very fabric upon which life is celebrated. For the Shona people of Zimbabwe, food begins "Pachoto"- the fireside. So when an African dietitian and her friends sit around this fireside what do they talk about? In Pachoto, a bi-weekly podcast, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Cordialis Msora Kasago invites you to sit "fireside" to chat about African food and where it intersects with health and culture with the goal of inspiring a holistic approach to wellness.
