7/30/26: Fire Was Our First Kitchen
from Self-Care with Jean · host Jean Edelman
In this week's episode of The Kitchen with Jean, we're exploring the ancient ritual of cooking over an open flame, how it evolved into the barbecue traditions we know today — from the slow smoke of Texas to the sizzle of Korean barbecue to the open pits of island cooking — and why gathering around the fire still feeds something in us that hurried, modern meals simply cannot. It's not just the smoke and the caramelization, though those matter too. It's our nervous system softening. It's presence. It's the way no one rushes away from a glowing fire. I hope this episode invites you to slow down this week — maybe light a small fire, roast something simple, and gather the people you love close by. 💚 Visit Jean's website: SelfCareWithJean.com! ----- Ask Jean | Jean's downloads | Book Jean for your next event ----- Follow Jean on Social Media: Instagram | X | YouTube Listen to Jean on your favorite podcast app: Apple | Spotify | iHeart
