Hawa Hassan Is feeding hospital workers at the epicenter of COVID-19

[Deeq A.]

Last week, from the comfort of my closet-turned-podcast-studio, I talked to BA contributor, entrepreneur, and friend Hawa Hassan for an episode of the Foodcast (live on April 29th!). Basbaas, Hassan’s line of jarred Somali sauces, has a cult following that includes most of the BA staff; you may also recognize her from Test Kitchen videos. I’ve long admired Hassan’s constant stream of humor and good deeds on Instagram, and during this lockdown, we’ve been swapping tips on getting through COVID, having virtual dance parties, and commiserating about the joys and pains of living alone. Our podcast conversation was a bright spot for me during a tough week, so I’m sharing a condensed version of it here. –Amanda Shapiro, Healthyish editor
