I am Tessa Brandsma and as a culinary anthropologist specialized in agriculture and food- systems, I always look for meaning in peoples relationships with each other and nature. Food and taste is a powerful tool to understand farming, cooking, crafting and consuming. It is a universal language which tells me much more than only that what is visible on the outside- it tells a story of people & land, of what it means to nourish the other, the soil & ourselves.
