Your Mama's Kitchen Trailer

“Tell me about your mama's kitchen.” That’s the simple request which begins each episode of this Audible Original podcast from acclaimed journalist Michele Norris (NPR’s All Things Considered, The Washington Post) and Higher Ground, Barack and Michelle Obama's media company.

Every week, hear guests like Michelle Obama, Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach, Matthew Broderick, D-Nice, José Andrés, and more explore the complexities of family life and how their earliest culinary experiences helped shape their personal and professional lives—and of course, each guest brings a recipe for a favorite dish from their youth so you can taste a bit of their story.

With a delicious buffet of actors, authors, chefs, musicians, and more, the rich conversations that flow from that simple initial prompt reveal the histories, memories, and cultures that emerge from the kitchen—the heart of the home—where we are nourished physically and spiritually. Some of our most valuable and vulnerable moments happened there as we watched parents struggle with bills, wrestle with shifting family dynamics, or figure out new roles for themselves as feminism changed the national terrain. Your Mama’s Kitchen is a podcast about cuisine and culture, ingredients and identities, and the meals and memories that make us who we are.

The Today Show

I saw this spotlighted on the Today Show with Hoda and Jenna this morning and I watched and listened as Jenna and Hoda each described their kitchen’s growing up and cried with them. Their stories were beautiful and I immediately went to audible to save “Your Mama’s Kitchen” to my list. I listened to the trailer and thought of my own childhood kitchen as Michelle talked. Everything she says is so spot on and I can’t wait to listen to more. I no longer have my parents so these “kitchen memories” are just what I needed. Absolutely love it!

Soul soothing

I really enjoyed this podcast! I think it's a wonderful way to take a trip down memory lane into one's childhood and family dynamic. Food has always been a passion of mine and the kitchen is at the heart of most family gatherings.
