    Yunnan is China's most diverse province, in biodiversity and culture/peoples - and Georgia Freedman learned about it from the tropical South to the mountains of the north - and east, and west. We talk about how she got to Yunnan in the first place, what it was like to find out more about local cooking - and so much more, not least about the chilli!

    heatstories: Alan Bergo on Sichuan Pepper in the US Midwest, Spicy Foods, Fine Dining
    Apr 12 2020

    This conversation was very focused and ranged far, at the same time. And it provided a different perspective, from a forager and chef trained in high culinary skill!
