This interview with Vikram Doctor is a must read for any one interested in food / food culture. Some highlights
- No one writes about Dhal in India
- Wedding caterers are as interesting as chefs
- Your cook's food culture has influenced you as much as your Mom's food culture

@sajithpai So glad you liked it! Vikram is brilliant, so it was nice (and pretty easy) to just give him the space to do what he does best!

@aaww turned the talk I moderated with @ligayamishan @ZillianZi and @NabenRuthnum into a killer episode of their amazing #AAWWRadio podcast. Listen in for a sample of the trio's readings, their insights into the mania for authenticity, MSG mania, & more. https://t.co/pT52dK0pYt

Thank you @aaww for a truly soul-rejuvenating event. To read to a mostly Asian American audience with other writers of color (@ligayamishan & @NabenRuthnum), then to answer their thoughtful qs is an experience I cannot capture in words. Please let me come back!!! #platetopage

@ZillianZi @NabenRuthnum @ligayamishan @aaww Interestingly, also true when it comes to food. So much to talk about!

The first blush of spring calls for an optimistic dish—something that conveys the hope of the first pushing crocuses and the first scattering of forsythia. Meet pan-grilled asparagus with cremini mushrooms. https://t.co/ZkOtsuP5T5

Say hello to crisp bhindi do pyaaza. (technically only ek pyaaza, but who's counting) crunchy, spicy, tangy. In short, perfect. https://t.co/XVtbiV00kL
