In this episode, we welcome guest, Nancy May, from the Family Tree, Food & Stories Podcast. Nancy and her co-host, Silvia Lovely, have also authored a book: My Family Tree, Food & Stories. We chat about these projects, and a recipe from Nancy, her Mom's Special Chicken.

Mom's Special Chicken is an easy dish of baked chicken pieces (breast or thighs), browned and then baked with apricot preserves, white wine and pine nuts. You can make it your own by adding herbs and seasonings, and you could swap broth for the wine if you like. We enjoyed Mom's Special Chicken with homemade egg noodles, but Nancy says she usually serves it with rice, which does a great job of soaking up that yummy apricot sauce.

Family Tree, Food & Stories podcast connects generations through family stories, food history, and heritage. Each episode uncovers the stories behind cherished recipes, unforgettable meals with family and friends, and unique food traditions that bring us together at the table. Nancy and Silvia, along with their guests, celebrate how food creates lasting connections — every meal tells a story, and every story is a feast waiting to be shared.

My Family Tree, Food & Stories, an illustrated book in a journal format, helps you do just that: capture the essence of these special moments, family food traditions, and passed-down recipes all in one place. Silvia and Nancy hope it will, in time, become your family’s treasure trove of fun-to-remember stories, almost-lost recipes, and family faces and places from the past.

This episode is all about learning to make Chinese Hot Pot at home. It is by no means an expert or exhaustive guide, but a chat about Heather's experience trying her hand at making hot pot for her family. As we always tell you, we're not experts in anything. Life is easier that way. :-)

Hot pot is a flavourful broth traditionally served inside a large pot in the middle of the table. The broth is brought to a boil and left simmering for the duration of the meal. Raw ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, dumplings and noodles, are placed into the simmering broth and cooked until just done, and then enjoyed with a dipping sauce.

Hot pot is not soup! The broth is the medium for cooking, but the pieces (meat, veggies) are cooked a few things at a time and then eaten before adding more to the pot.

Paige Friend, host of The Beach Speaks Podcast, joins us for this episode, sharing a recipe for Eggplant Parmesan inspired by a trip to Italy. We get into the details of the recipe and Erin's experience with making it; we talk about mindfulness and making your dreams happen; and we chat, of course, about the beach.

Have you ever eaten a meal while away on vacation and tried to recreate it when you got back home? That's how Paige developed this eggplant parmesan recipe. The key is a delicious homemade marinara sauce, made with love. Paige's advice is to take your time and allow it to simmer for hours to bring out the flavour.

Paige has channeled her love for the beach into her podcast, The Beach Speaks. She and her guests share stories of the human connection to the beach - the times they've enjoyed at beaches around the world, environmental concerns related to the water and shorelines, great beach reads and lots more. Be sure to tune into The Beach Speaks and follow Paige on her social media accounts.
