Sarina Kamini (Author) - What We Call Masala
At first glance, this pod is a conversation with Sarina Kamini about her new book What We Call Masala, which explores theories and practices around regional Indian spices. But go deeper and it’s an invitation to connect with our bodies, minds, souls, heritage and one another.
There’s also some homework: get your turmeric and your salts!

Following his own health issues, he eliminated dairy, gluten and grains from his own diet, and has reflected that style of cuisine at the cafe. What’s the response been?

About Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent
Dirty Linen goes behind the scenes in restaurants, cafes and bars, covering issues the hospitality industry finds hard to share in public - it's all up for grabs and everything is on the table. Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she's an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she's never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it's time to get stuck in, with compassion, humour and fearlessness. Dirty Linen goes deep, both in conversations with individuals and in pressing topics. We ask the hard questions and discuss the big issues, bringing a unique perspective to a world that we all intersect with but often don’t understand. Dirty Linen is a Deep in the Weeds Production.
