In this episode of Root Words, we’ll meet one of the longest established vendors of the Rutland market, Youngla Nam of Flavors of Asia - Vermont Seoul Food.
Youngla caters to vegans and meat eaters alike. While she takes inspiration from traditional Korean dishes, she also bucks convention. She has adapted through her life and she adapts her dishes to her customer’s needs.
Youngla left her tight-knit family in Seoul many years ago, and today she is a cornerstone of the market vendor family in Rutland.
Join us next time as we connect with more market chefs on Root Words.
This episode was produced by Stephen Abatiell.
Special thanks to Youngla Nam.
To learn more, visit Youngla at the next Rutland Farmers’ Market.
