Darra Goldstein is an icon in the world of food academia and publishing. She is the Founding Editor of Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture and has published widely on literature, culture, art, and cuisine and is the author of six cookbooks, including recently released Preserved: Fruit and Preserved: Condiments all about the art of preserving. She currently serves on the Kitchen Cabinet of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and on the Advisory Board of the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts.

On episode 14, Darra and Stephen chat about her time living abroad in Russia during the Cold War as a US Information Agency, how Russian literature helped shape her love of food, and falling in love with Georgia and Georgian cuisine. Darra shares her journey to launching Gastronomica, which mirrors Whetstone’s origin story in many ways.
