For Claudia Serrato, food goes hand in hand with community. And her knowledge runs deep— she is a culinary anthropologist, decorated and public scholar, professor, chef, and womb ecologist. Her understanding of Indigenous cooking and cuisine across the United States informs her work as a Co-Founder of Across Our Kitchen Tables, a culinary hub for gender-non-conforming individuals and women of color. We caught up with her on how she brings intention into each day and reveled in her undying love for all that food can do.
