18: What the act of gardening teaches us about cooking | Joanna Chuah, Founder of WWEdibles

Joanna Chuah: “Instead of growing mint in your house, you can grow gotu kola. I think that that’s essentially the place that I want to get people to, where they feel like they don’t need to grow basil or lemon balm, but they can grow more interesting kinds of produce and know how to eat them as well. It is all about bringing these plants back to the households, normalizing them and shaking off this idea that if it’s edible, it’s got to fit into a certain category of produce like herbs.” Chuah, the founder of WWEdibles, shares about her growing-up years, plus: *Avenues for play in Singapore* *Skills that children in this modern age lack* *The millennial trend of growing plants* **How to prevent native vegetables and fruits from phasing out in Singapore* *How we can get millennials interested in wet markets and their produce* *The relationship between chefs and growers* *’Farm to Table’ in the Singaporean context*
