001. Romania - Friends and neighbours Stirring conversations is a culinary world tour within the borders of Berlin. People from over 190 different nationalities live in Berlin and all of them bring something unique to the table. Podcast host Militsa Тekelieva is no exception. A passionate home-cook, she has always found comfort in a tasty meal paired with a good conversation. Cooking connects her to her roots and her family back in Bulgaria. She was curious about the place food holds in other people’s lives, so she set out to explore Berlin’s “kitchens of the world” and discover their stories. In each episode, Militsa will join a new home cook as they prepare a favourite dish and share their experiences around food, heritage, culture and the delicious memories they invoke. Come along for this tasty ride if you don’t mind getting hungry and occasionally a bit homesick. Music used in this episode: Your Eyes by Crowander The Way To Romania by She Said Destroy!
