"Longtime friend of the podcast Jessica Nabongo, who made history as the first documented Black woman to visit all of the world's 195 countries, is back to talk about her new project: Catch Me in the Kitchen, an upcoming compendium of recipes sources from her travels and the people she encountered. Some are crowd-sourced, some come from her own family, and some are pulled from celebrity chefs like Marcus Samuelsson and Kwame Onwuachi."
"So it's again with National Geographic. So this one is called Catch Me in the Kitchen. It's due out November 2026, and it's going to feature one recipe from every single country in the world. So 195 recipes. It's a massive undertaking, and I just think when we started, I could not have imagined how much work it would be, be,"
Jessica Nabongo visited all 195 countries and became the first documented Black woman to do so. She is compiling Catch Me in the Kitchen, a National Geographic cookbook that will feature one recipe from every country and is due in November 2026. Contributions will include crowdsourced entries, family recipes, and dishes shared by celebrity chefs such as Marcus Samuelsson and Kwame Onwuachi. The collection emphasizes food gathered during travels and recipes from people encountered around the world. The project aims to broaden and challenge conventional travel storytelling by centering culinary traditions and personal narratives. The undertaking expanded from an initial smaller plan into a vast, collaborative global compendium.
