The Rundown
In this episode we learn how some burdens, the ones that bring us
together in the physical world, can be good burdens. I chat with
author Christina Crook about her new book all about just that. Next
up, a beautiful cookbook that centres around the seasons, family
and a kitchen table. We coming together, all the time, on this
audio outing.
The Good Burdens of Christina Crook
Christina Crook is an author, workshop leader and speaker. She’s
also worried that as a species we fail to thrive if we don’t
connect. If we don’t take on, as the title of her new book
suggests, “Good Burdens” Those are the tasks that bring us together
not isolate and divide us the way Crook thinks social media does. I
talked to her about good burdens and connections. Here’s our
conversation.
Trish Magwood’s New Table
Chef and entrepreneur Trish Magwood also has a new book out. Hers
is about bringing family together around the dining table. The book
is a beautiful celebration of good, local, seasonal food and
essential ingredients, the most essential being the people who come
together over food. Here’s our conversation.
