This week, Erin and Abby chat with Marlene Epp, about her new book, Eating Like A Mennonite: Food and Community across Borders. Epp's book dives into how Mennonites cook and eat around the world, gendered expectations (and opportunities) around food, the impact of food trauma on Mennonites, and much more - we highly recommend you add it to your to-read list.
We chat with Marlene about haystacks (of course), foodways, the value of cookbooks, and whether "Mennonite food" is an actual thing.
Thank you to McGill-Queen's University Press for providing us with review copies of the book.
