MotherFood with Polish-born food writer and soon-to-be mom of two, Zuza Zak

A heartfelt catch up between two friends rather than a formal interview this episode sees Alissa chat to Polish born food writer and soon to be mom of two, Zuza Zak, about her journey into motherhood. They talk about Zuza’s own childhood and what values about parenting and food has been instilled in her, how she managed to overcome her experience of miscarriages and the trauma of an emergency C section. Zuza shares her outlook and advice on cooking for a family and instilling a respect for the food from a young age. The episode also covers topics like self care, social norms of breastfeeding and finding mental and physical space to connect to the self. There are plenty of giggles and toddler chatter on the background too. You can find Zuza and Alissa on Instagram @zuzazakcooks and @alissatimoshkina We’d love to hear from you!
