| 6/17/26 |  Esi Lewis: Attorney and Community Activist on Building Black History, Family Legacy, and Joy as Resistance | Esi Lewis grew up on Huguenot Street in New Paltz, in the same house she lives in now with her daughter. It wasn't until later in life that she learned the property sits on a burial ground for enslaved Africans, a discovery that reshaped how she understood the place she'd always called home.Esi is an attorney and the founder of the Dr. Margaret Wade-Lewis Center for Black History and Culture, named for her mother, a pioneering Black Studies professor who chaired the department at SUNY New Paltz for over three decades. In this episode of Dinner Last Night, we follow Esi's path from New Paltz to a decade in New York City, including six years as a prosecutor in Brooklyn's Sex Crimes Bureau, and back home again after her daughter was born. We talk about the Center's work to save the Ann Oliver House, built in 1885 by Jacob Wynkoop, from demolition, the field trips to Huguenot Street that taught Esi about French Protestant settlers but nothing about the Black community that built and worshipped alongside them, and the moment she learned what her own childhood home was built on. We also talk about her podcast We Be Griots, the role of Black churches and song as historic anchors of joy, and the dish that most reminds her of her mother.In this episode:Ribeye, a 10-year-old dancer's protein craving, and why Esi tries never to rush through dinnerGrowing up in the shadow of her mother's legacy, and how Margaret Wade Lewis shaped everything from food to faith to communityJacob Wynkoop, the Ann Oliver House, and why Esi fought to save a piece of New Paltz history from demolitionWhat a griot is, and why Esi's podcast We Be Griots is an act of documented resistanceLiving on Huguenot Street and learning that her family home sits near a burial ground of enslaved AfricansJoy as resistance: how Black communities in the Hudson Valley use celebration, song, and togetherness as a form of healingRaising a daughter with roots, ritual, and a sense of her own place in historyMentioned in this episode:The Margaret Wade Lewis Center for Black History and CultureWe Be Griots podcast (Esi's show)Historic Huguenot Street in New Paltz, NYThe Ann Oliver HouseSUNY New Paltz | — | ||||||
| 6/3/26 |  Katrín Björk: Icelandic Food Photographer and Cookbook Author on ARFID, Adoption, and Redefining the Family Dinner | Katrín Björk is an Icelandic food photographer, cookbook author, and mom of three adopted kids, and she'll be the first to tell you that dinner in her house is a disaster.Katrín grew up in North Iceland in a fishing and farming family, where wild Icelandic lamb and fresh fish three times a week were just Tuesday. She went on to study photography in Copenhagen (where she met her husband!), publish From the North, a love letter to Icelandic and Danish food, and build a career in commercial food photography. But none of that prepared her for the reality of feeding a family where one child has ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), one is autistic and struggles significantly with eating, and all three carry early childhood trauma with deep ties to food. In this episode, Katrín talks openly about the therapy, the letting go, and the slow, hard work of replacing perfectionism with presence. In this episode:Growing up in North Iceland with wild lamb, fresh fish, and from-scratch everythingWhat ARFID actually is, and how it shows up at the dinner table differently than picky eatingThe "safe list" tool: what it is, how Katrín's daughter helped build hers, and why it has to stay flexibleHow her romantic idea of the perfect family dinner collided with the reality of raising three kids with complex needsSourcing prepared food locally and releasing the pressure to cook everything from scratchThe evolution of her blog Modern Wife Style and why its messaging no longer rings true to who she isWhy her family connects over bike rides and nature, not dinner, and why that's okayMentioned in this episode:From the North by Katrín BjörkKatrín's websiteModern Wifestyle BlogFollow Katrín on InstagramBlack Eyed Susie's in Kingston, NYCommon Table meal prep service in Kingston, NY Dia Beacon in Beacon, NYJulia Turshen's Episode on Dinner Last Night | — | ||||||
| 5/20/26 |  Paragini Amin: Designer on Indian-American Identity, a Husband Who Cooks Like a Chef, and a Game That Opens Kids Up | Paragini Amin grew up in Jersey City in a Gujarati household where dinner, cooked daily by her mother, was always Indian food, and everything else was negotiable. Today, her husband does all the cooking, and he's exceptional at it: French technique one night, Caribbean-Southeast Asian the next, with an instinct for sniffing out the best restaurant on any highway.In this episode, Paragini takes us through the experiences that shaped her, including the early racism she experienced in school, and the radically intentional desegregation high school where she learned what happens when kids from different backgrounds are just given room to be. She tells us what a psychic once said about getting into the kitchen, and why she still hasn't done it. We get into Things & Things, the conversation game she designed — cards paired with physical objects — that helped her quiet, heady eight-year-old finally open up at the dinner table. And we talk perimenopause and HRT, because we're all in our forties and we have things to say. Paragini is co-founder and creative director of Design for Progress, a brand strategy firm serving social justice nonprofits focused on criminal justice reform and mass incarceration.In this episode:Growing up Gujarati in Jersey City, and her parents' approach to two cultures at the dinner tableThe racism Paragini faced as a young Indian-American girl, and how she made sense of itThe quietly radical desegregation high school in Jersey City that just workedThe husband who does all the cooking, and his nose for the best restaurant on any highwayWhat a psychic once told Paragini about getting into the kitchen, and why she still hasn't done itThings & Things: a conversation game with cards and objects that opened up her quiet eight-year-old at the dinner tablePerimenopause, HRT, and the conversations we should all be having in our 40sMentioned in this episode:Things & Things, Paragini's conversation gameDesign for Progress, Paragini and Chris's design firmThe First 40 Days by Heng OuEarlier episode with Eliza Blank on Farmlink and food wasteCornell Prison Education ProgramSubscribeNever miss an episode: Follow Dinner Last Night and subscribe to our newsletter.

| 5/6/26 |  Stefan Merrill Block: Novelist and Memoirist on Being Homeschooled, Cooking as Rebellion, and The Power of Writing to Heal | When Stefan Merrill Block was nine, his mother concluded that his teachers were stifling his creativity and pulled him out of public school. He wouldn't return until ninth grade. Those five years in between shaped everything that came after, including, eventually, his relationship with food and cooking.Stefan is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Homeschooled, which traces a fiercely loved boy through the years he spent learning at home with a mother whose ideas grew more inventive (and more unsteady) as the months went on. In this episode, we follow the food: his mother's recipe-less cooking, the Dallas chicken tortilla soup that tasted like friendship and a bigger world, and the long road that led Stefan at 30, alone on 250 acres of Texas land, to fall in love with cooking on his own terms. We also talk about writing a memoir with a novelist's instincts, feeling anger for your younger self for the first time, and the homeschool reform conversations the book has sparked in three states.In this episode:Why Stefan's mother pulled him from school at nine, and how that impacted his later yearsHis mother's recipe-less cooking, and the meals that felt like something to endureThe Dallas chicken tortilla soup that tasted like friendship and a bigger worldFalling in love with cooking at 30, alone on 250 acres of Texas landCooking three separate dinners as the main cook in his householdWriting a memoir with a novelist's instincts, and feeling anger for your younger selfCo-owning Skate Time 209, the beloved roller rink in Accord, NYMentioned in this episode:Stefan's WebsiteFollow Stefan on InstagramGet a copy of Stefan's memoir, HomeschooledThe Coalition for Responsible Home EducationSkate Time 209SubscribeNever miss an episode: Follow Dinner Last Night and subscribe to our newsletter.
