In the very first episode of The Wild Kitchen, Tiffany Bader sits down with Darina Allen, a cook, teacher, and one of the most influential voices in seasonal and traditional food.

This conversation begins where many food stories do: at the kitchen table.

Darina reflects on growing up in rural Ireland, learning to cook by watching, gardening as a way of life, and the moment she realized that real food - grown well, cooked simply, and shared generously, could shape not just meals, but communities. Together, Tiffany and Darina talk about forgotten skills, food education, the importance of soil, and why reconnecting with how we grow and cook food matters now more than ever.

This is not a how-to episode.
It’s a slow conversation about memory, land, tradition, and choosing a different path in the kitchen.

Food has always been more than food.

It’s memory. It’s ritual. It’s how stories are passed, from one generation to the next.

The Wild Kitchen is a podcast about food — but really, it’s about the people, places, and ideas that gather around it.

Coming soon.
