You don't need us to tell you there's a general election coming.

So what does it mean for you?

Every day on newscast we dissect the big talking points, the ones that you want to know more about.

With our book of contacts, we talk directly to the people you want to hear from.

And with help from some of the best BBC journalists,

we'll untangle the stories that matter to you.

Join me, Laura Kunsberg, Adam Fleming, Chris Mason,

and Patty O'Connell for our daily podcasts.

Newscast, listen on BBC Sounds. This is the BBC.

Hello, you've downloaded a podcast of BBC Radio Falls The Food Program.

I'm Dan Saladino. Welcome to our world. From cooking to culture,

politics to pleasure. We hope you enjoy this edition.

Once a year a group of people gather together to meet up and share their stories and experiences about food.

How many times a day do you eat? There's so much more we can do with

that moment than to just get fuel in our bodies. They all take to a stage to

offer up ideas that are groundbreaking, unexpected and often surprising.

Just lately I baked the cake out of banana peals which turned out really well so you have to try that out really and these storytellers come

from different backgrounds different countries are of all ages but they have three

things in common they all work with food, secondly, they all have

ideas they believe can change the world. And the third thing is that they're all women.

This gathering of women food storytellers is called the Parabara Forum.

We have in this room people that have travelled from 30 countries. Hello, my name is Maria Cannoval.
