“A lot of food imagery that goes out in the Western world tends to glamorize and fetish-ize the act of cooking.” [5:30]

“The mission of the magazine is to really celebrate global cooking… Not giving precedence to one thing over another, but really celebrate the colorful mosaic of world cooking.” [8:30]
