Monarch butterflies, A Table Set for Sisterhood, and a visit to an Amish and Mennonite community

Every year Monarch butterflies come to the Central Coast for the winter. Contributor Beth Thornton visited Goleta’s Ellwood Mesa. ‘A Table Set for Sisterhood’ is a fully illustrated, colorful, feminist cookbook featuring over thirty recipes, each linked to a significant woman throughout history and from across the globe. Coauthor Ashley Schutz speaks with KCBX’s Brian Reynolds. And finally, KCBXs Tom Wilmer reports on an Amish and Mennonite community—Shipshewana, Indiana— in an award winning travel story.
