Welcome back to our podcast, Tasting Terroir –– a journey that helps you cut through the marketing claims of “better for you food” by understanding the link between healthy soil and the flavor and health of your food.
————
As you may recall from our episode last week, …..the big brands you have heard of are not really bringing regenerative ingredients to your door.
To find them, you need to think small….and local. Like the farmers we have interviewed in the podcast so far…..who are not only growing food in a regenerative way, but also, creating ways for the public to buy directly from them.
This week, we explore how a small food manufacturer sees the issue……and how her dedication and perseverance are almost single-handedly bringing you an opportunity to taste the difference regenerative rice can make.
Jennifer Kocher is one of those people who just never quits. A finance major turned baker and then small business owner……Jennifer has been making some of the best gluten-free pizza crusts on the market.
In this episode…..I want you to really absorb just what it takes to bring better ingredients into the products you buy…….and HOW MUCH power you have to really shape the course of the food industry by supporting dedicated true-believers like Jennifer and the others we are profiling on this podcast.
For sure if you are in the Pittsburgh, PA or Columbus, OH areas…..and you care about better food, the planet – or both…..you are going to LOVE this brand and this woman……just like I do.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
