My family has been eating Lijjat papad for as long as I can remember. That pink bunny logo is part of my childhood, and I even shouted out Lijjat's black pepper papad in my cookbook. I decided to look into the company history and turns out, it's pretty inspiring.

whetstonemagazine.com/journa… A new year and announcement. It's buried in there, so, TLDR; We're launching an all new vertical on South Asian foodways and looking for someone to help us lead it. You? Or a friend maybe? More soon!

“There’s this idea in food media that it’s somehow easier to cook the food of your culture because you grew up with it or that it’s a part of you. It completely discounts the skills that it takes to build a recipe for an American audience. eater.com/21347367/food-medi…

For too many years, @KlancyCooks sensed something missing from mainstream food media: stories that centered Black women. She decided it was time to tell those stories herself: “What would it look like if we looked at food through the gaze of Black women?” thecut.io/2Bl9rH2

“I didn’t tell my children stories of Cinderella. When they were all in bed, I would read to them or tell them stories from Bernier...[of] elephant fights [or] the jewels of the court.” Interviewing @madhurjaffrey was a singular delight. saveur.com/madhur-jaffrey-re…

My mom‘s food is in the @nytimes. Incredible. She can’t make her mango pie herself anymore, so thank you to the lovely, wonderful @CiaoSamin for honoring her and her cooking this way. This is still the best dessert I’ve ever had in my life. nytimes.com/2019/02/06/magaz…

My latest immigrant cuisine column for @SFC_FoodHome on @EatWithTracy, who is preaching the gospel of laksa in the Bay area. She's a badass WOC who's not afraid to speak her mind, and she's an inspiration/killer chef. bit.ly/2TWwr2B #amillionplates #immigrantfood
