Food is one of the best ways to exchange cultures without looking at politics or other divergences. Differences in food and cooking are less easily lost in translation.
About Trina
Trina loves food. To her, food is a means of having a good time. It should be prepared and enjoyed with respect, great care, and love. In a deeper sense, food is a carrier of social communication between human beings. It carries a story that is representative of the human history. Food represents a vital form of our culture, and Trina believes that through cooking, eating, and exchanging our stories and beliefs we can create a better world.
A decent daily meal
Food reflects the good and also the not-so-good conditions for the expression of human enjoyment. Food is therefore also important in the betterment of social conditions. This is Trina’s cause, her advocacy: A decent daily meal for everybody in the world.
