RELISH SEASON 4 Premiere Date: December 8th, 2021 8 digital episodes, three 30-minute compilation broadcast episodes
DESCRIPTION: For four seasons, Relish has shared stories of cultural heritage in Twin Cities communities through the universal language of food. In each episode, host Yia Vang (Union Hmong Kitchen, Vinai) takes viewers inside the kitchen with local chefs as they serve up an ingredient or dish that has personal and cultural meaning to them. Relish invites viewers to celebrate the cuisines and cultures of our diverse neighbors through videos, articles and recipes they can make at home, inspiring them to explore their world in a whole new way. The most recent season of the digital series dives even more in depth into history, culture and food, and features eight guest chefs from the Twin Cities.

Relish Season 4 episodes:
• Altreisha Foster’s Jamaican Fruitcake | Gooey, moist Jamaican fruitcake, also known as Black cake or Christmas cake is a must at many Caribbean holiday tables. And since you cannot have Jamaican fruitcake without sorrel wine- an iced hibiscus mulled wine, baker Altreisha Foster makes that, too, alongside chef Yia Vang. • Samantha Kelly and Ashley Leonard’s Potica | Chef Yia Vang makes Minnesota Iron Range favorite, potica, with Eveleth natives Samantha Kelly (recipe developer) and Ashley Leonard (The Darling Apron food blog.) Potica, a nut roll with roots in Central and Eastern Europe, took a surprising journey to Minnesota's Iron Range in the early 1900s.
