Description
Hello Bad Table Manners listeners. I’d love to introduce you an episode of Immigrantly. Immigrantly is a weekly podcast that dares to deconstruct immigrant status. Hosted by social entrepreneur & activist Saadia Khan.   On this episode we hear from Nik Sharma, a renowned food writer, recipe developer, and photographer with Bombay roots and is currently in LA. His entry into the food scene was his hit blog, A Brown Table. Since then, he has published two bestselling cookbooks, including The Flavor Equation. Nik writes for San Francisco Chronicle, Serious Eats, and Food and Wine Magazine as their food columnist. He does and cooks it all.Saadia Khan sits down with Nik to talk about preserving history through cooking, how various dishes evolve & the commonalities between molecular biology and the cilantro we use to garnish the rice.
