I submitted a video to National Geographic’s Expedition Granted, a competition that seeks to push the boundaries of what we talk about when we talk about exploring. I proposed a project in which I’ll document stories behind one simple ingredient: the mustard seed. My plan is to target half a dozen or so locations with a history steeped in mustard and gather recipes and stories from people in those communities. I’ll document my findings online in a collaborative forum that allows for others to share, scaling great mustard stories and recipes from around the world beyond the kitchens in which they are traditionally made. Check out my two minute video below:
