Time For Lunch

Time For Lunch is a place to learn about eating, cooking, enjoying and sometimes playing with your food. Each episode will cover a new subject; taking a close look at one item, or ingredient, that might be found at the lunch table. Listeners are invited to participate, sharing jokes on-air or following along with in-episode quizzes and games. Hosted by Harry Rosenblum and Hannah Fordin, the show looks at food through the lens of history, culture, and play to celebrate and learn about the people and places that feed us.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

We asked Adrian Miller (A.K.A. The Soul Food Scholar) what is the most important and iconic soul food dish and his answer was: greens! 

Delicious, nutritious, and deeply steeped in history, we all agree that you’ve got to eat your greens. In addition to coming back to a conversation with Adrian Miller, Hannah and Harry are lucky enough to bring back one of our most beloved guests; Germaine Jenkins of Fresh Future Farm. 

As we look back on Black History Month it’s a great time to reflect and celebrate the many cultures and cuisines that our friends and neighbors of African descent can share. However, one month a year is truly not enough time to learn about and honor Black culture in America. So regardless of the time of year, let’s remember to be curious and open about our own history and the stories of folks around us. 

Stay tuned as we have another episode celebrating Black History Month coming up soon!

How many kernels are on an ear of corn? What’s an origin myth? What part of the world did corn originate? This week on Time For Lunch, Hannah and Harry learn all about a delicious vegetable that defines summer: corn! With the help of illustrator Luis Garay we learn about the ancient Mayan’s origin myth. The Mayans once ruled much of Central America, which is where corn or maíz, as it’s called in Spanish, was first grown and where it still plays an important role. Plus, chef and corn enthusiast Zarela Martínez teaches us a simple recipe for Esquites (also known as Mexican Street Corn or elote). As always, we’ve got corny jokes and lots of fun facts.
