If you’ve scrolled down Instagram’s recipe rabbit hole, chances are you’ve come across @SpiceSpoon (Shayma Owaise Saadat) and her famous strawberry chaat. Read her conversation with fellow foodies Ronke Edoho and Jon Kung.

A brilliant piece on plagiarism and appropriation of narratives, by @jameskhansen — Elizabeth Haigh’s cookbook has been withdrawn after she plagiarised and appropriated stories from Sharon Wee who wrote Growing Up in a Nonya Kitchen https://t.co/dGLO6cXTpK

@DieselLiesel75 @DrJenGunter Gorgeous!

@drawstickpeople @OlavFolland @DrJenGunter @GoodishIntent If you cannot abide coriander, I would suggest fresh dill, not parsley. But truly, my recipes are but a template and you should add what you like and make the dish your own. There are no dogmas in my kitchen. (Unless you're messing w my mother's recipes! NOT ALLOWED😂!)

[Shayma Saadat @SpiceSpoon]

@manjaselva hello friend, hope you've been well.

[Shayma Saadat @SpiceSpoon]

I honestly find the whole bowl of warm water to get the pom arils out to be too fiddly, and also, I don't want an extra dish in my kitchen. A pomegranate was an afterschool treat when I lived in Lahore, and we didn't care that it got all over our white LGS uniforms. @DrJenGunter

[Shayma Saadat @SpiceSpoon]

@oldsourpuss @DrJenGunter that is exactly what I do.

[Shayma Saadat @SpiceSpoon]

@SproutCan @DrJenGunter Thank you!
