Women, Food and Culture

Monday, 13 August 2018 - 8:30am to 9:00am

"Food is more than sustenance and nutrition, it has social, cultural and symbolic meanings which structure not only our daily lives, but also life transitions...Food represents an arena where powerful values and beliefs about being a human are evident. Food practices also demarcate cultural boundaries of belonging and not belonging." (Dr Ruth de Souza, 2017) 

On today's show we chat with Cinday, owner of Shop Bao Ngoc - a Vietnamese Australian Tuckshop in Melbourne. We also chat with Saba Alemayoh, owner of Saba's Ethiopian Restaurant and Afro Hub - a social enterprise supporting Africans in Melbourne flourish economically, artistically and socially.
