Future Factory

In this engaging conversation, Anthony Amunategui and Anthony Man-Son-Hing explore the profound connection between food, family, and cultural heritage. They discuss the importance of savoring food as an experience rather than just sustenance, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight the joy of cooking and eating together. The conversation emphasizes the need to rediscover the joy of cooking in a busy world, the significance of involving children in the kitchen, and the beauty of cultural traditions in culinary practices. They also touch on the journey of creating flavorful dishes and the role of hot sauces in enhancing meals, ultimately celebrating the rich tapestry of food experiences that bring families together.

Special Guest:
Anthony Man-Son-Hing, born into the vibrant tapestry of Guyanese-Chinese-Portuguese heritage, the flavors of home were more than just food; they were a lifeline. Leaving Guyana at a young age, he understood the longing for those familiar tastes, the ache for the bustling warmth of family kitchens. Trips to Toronto, stocking up on pepper sauce and black cake, were more than just grocery runs; they were pilgrimages back to the heart of Guyana. And though he embraced the new kitchens he found, from Italian Nonnas to the diverse cuisines of his travels, the memory of his grandparents' cooking never faded. Savour Guyana isn't just a brand; it's a homecoming. It's a taste of the guava tennis rolls & cheese, the spice of the pepperpot, the sweet, comforting embrace of black cake – a reminder that no matter where life takes us, the flavors of Guyana, the stories they tell, and the warmth of our community are always with us. It's for every Guyanese heart, scattered across the globe, yearning for a taste of home.
