For many chefs, cooking was a calling, but for others, it was a way to connect with culture. In this special episode, we’re revisiting what ignited the passion for food and cooking for Asma Khan of Darjeeling Express, Pierre Thiam from Teranga and NOK by Alara, and award-winning chef and author Anahita Dhondy.
In this episode, Asma shares how her supper clubs changed the Soho foodie scene, Anahita opens up about embracing an oft-forgotten ancient Indian grain in a modern way, and Pierre discusses how a series of unfortunate events led to him discovering the wonder of chemistry in the kitchen.
