How food helped a musician grieve for her mother

The US-Korean writer and musician Michelle Zauner’s new book is called Crying in H Mart. It’s about how she found herself crying in her local Korean grocery store in the wake of her mother’s death. 

Michelle tells the story of her relationship with her mother and how she didn’t realise when she was growing up, food was her mother’s way of expressing her love.

Once her mother passed away, food became an emotional connection between them. On today’s Briefing, what does grief taste like?
