Chef Amalia Moreno-Damgaard prepares pepián negro, a rich and complex Guatemalan stew, and serves it alongside her husband Kenn's Danish open-faced herring sandwich, creating what she calls a "hybrid plate." Through her cookbooks, classes, and events, Chef Moreno-Damgaard highlights the rich diversity of her native Guatemala and the broader culinary traditions of Latin America. The ”hybrid meal”, as with all of her work, reflects how food can serve as a powerful bridge between cultures.
From the acclaimed Twin Cities PBS producers of the Daytime Emmy®-nominated and James Beard Media Award-winning series "Relish," "Relish Presents" is a new collection of documentary-style short films that spotlight the chefs, makers, and stories shaping Minnesota's food culture. Each story offers an intimate portrait of a chef whose passion, creativity, and personal journey are helping shape the future of food in our state.
This episode of "Relish Presents" is funded by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and the citizens of Minnesota.
