Taste of the Week

As February winds down, we find ourselves in a season of reflection and renewal. The days are getting a little longer, the promise of spring is on the horizon, and there’s still time to honor the stories and legacies that shape our food systems. Whether you’re savoring the last bites of comfort food before the seasons shift or discovering new flavors to welcome what’s next, we’re here to share in the journey. Pull up a chair —here’s what’s been cooking at HRN!

Behind The Fellowship

Check out what our Radio & Research Fellows are Doing!

Meet Ash Tyler!

I joined the fellowship with a passion for food, though it hadn’t been a big part of my professional life—until now. The Meat and Three episode I produced on food insecurity this week feels more relevant than ever, reinforcing my commitment to food justice.

This spring, I’ll step into the role of Digital Marketing Manager at FoodCorps, helping ensure kids have access to nutritious food and education.

When I’m not working on the podcast, I’m dreaming up ice cream flavors, devouring murder mysteries, or enjoying Lake Michigan—when it’s warm!

What We’re Making

One recipe Ash’s is cooking on repeat, especially this winter, is @ZenasKitchen’s Creamy Gochujang Udon Soup with Fish.

It might have a long title, but it is a dinner that can be whipped up in less than 30 minutes and uses delicious pantry staples and a light protein.

Try it for yourselves this weeknight and let us (and Zena) know what you think!
