Antoni Porowski: How Your Heritage Can Help You Find Yourself

This week, JVN and Antoni Porowski talk the intersections of food, identity, and personal growth. From Antoni’s work on the new NatGeo/Hulu/Disney+ show No Taste Like Home, his personal culinary journey, to the ways food connects us to our past, present, and future, they explore how what we eat can reflect who we are. Antoni opens up about the role of food in self-care, how cooking can be a mindful practice, and the lessons he’s learned from years of sharing meals with friends, family, and the Fab Five. 00:00 Intro 01:23 Antoni Porowski 03:04 Reclaiming Connections in Food 04:41 James Marsden’s Chicken Fried Steak 05:56 Awkwafina’s Family Lineage 10:11 I have to be honest… 13:28 The resilience of Polish people 17:49 Ask The Older Generation 21:11 How Can We Make Cooking Less Stressful? 24:40 Baked Chicken is Never Good 32:00 Dutch Oven 34:32 Outro You can follow Antoni on Instagram   / antoni  .
