Food Network Obsessed - A podcast by Food Network - Fridays
Somali cook and food journalist Hawa Hassan shares the importance of stories and the inspiration behind her award-winning cookbook. This week on Food Network Obsessed, Hawa Hassan talks to host Jaymee Sire about how her Somali roots have shaped her food perspective and the path she planned to get to where she is today. Hawa shares the process of developing her own line of sauces, influenced by traditional Somali recipes, and how that provided a springboard for her to dive into creating her cookbook, In Bibi’s Kitchen. Hawa shares the process of gathering research, recipes and photography for the cookbook and why she decided to take a maternal point of view to share the foods and dishes that remind her of home. She talks about filming her new Cooking Channel show, Spice of Life, and what spice of life personally means to her before sharing her favorite New York spots to get African cuisine.
