Cooking in the Dark
This Colorado-based program is a cooking show like no other focusing on ecology, sustainability, family-owned farms and ranches, culinary and cultural diversity, political economy of food, food justice, and voices of youth and disability. The name of the show refers not primarily to Dr. Folska’s own blindness but to the fact that most of us are also “cooking in the dark”.
