<p>The Kitchen Sisters—<b>Davia Nelson</b> and <b>Nikki Silva</b>—have been producing radio programs since 1979. With Jay Allison, they are the creators of two Peabody Award-winning series on National Public Radio: <i>Lost & Found Sound</i> and <i>The Sonic Memorial Project</i>.</p>
<p>Now in its second season, <i>Hidden Kitchens: Stories, Recipes and More</i> features interviews with amateur cooks who use unconventional methods to prepare strange food in surprising places throughout the United States. Following tips solicited from NPR listeners and food historians, the Sisters explore and celebrate the worlds of street-corner cooking, local eating rituals, unsung culinary heroes, and various hidden kitchens and restaurants that reflect the way people live and adapt in twenty-first century America. For their wild and poignant chronicle of American life through food, they were awarded the Alfred I. du Pont-Columbia Award for 2006.</p>
<p>The Kitchen Sisters' work is recognized for its layering of archival audio with interviews and music, a feeling of place, and off beat humor. They teach “Advanced Radio” at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and conduct interviews and broadcasting workshops throughout the United States.</p>
<p>This conversation will be moderated by <b>Alan Acosta</b>, Associate Vice President and Director of University Communications.</p><BR/>
