Affouet M. Price of Portland, Oregon, learned how to prepare the traditional recipes of her native Ivory Coast from her mother and grandmother. Her greatest joys in cooking are the storied history of traditional recipes, and the connections that she sees people make when they enjoy those recipes together. Affouet also founded La Casserole Gourmet, a food and beverage social media presence meant to promote West African Cuisine, so she is definitely a serial entrepreneur. But her focus right now is the family business, making beautiful bottles of cocktail and soda mixes from the seeds she and her mother originally planted! The Hibis Bloom drinks blend West African culture with American tastes for a refreshing drink offering a cultural treat.\n\n"Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah Marshall\n\nWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\n\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\n\nShow logo was designed by Anton Kimball of Kimball Design\n\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\n\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\n\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\n\nListen to the "Masoni and Marshall the meaningful marketplace" live on-air every Friday at 9:00am pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
