BECAUSE MUCH MORE CONNECTS US THAN DIVIDES US.


AND OFTEN IT STARTS ON A PLATE.





HAVE A TASTE

Finding Our Flavor is a podcast that asks how does the food we grow up with help
shape the people we grow up to be? Spotlighting exciting, diverse voices from
migrant and diaspora communities it’s a show with food and people where we meet
fascinating people and try their amazing food! Enjoy tastes and tales, recipes
and reminiscences, secret dishes and dished secrets as guests share a cherished
family recipe and explain how it both reminds them where they come from - and
helps them figure out who they are in the places they now call home. Your host
is Rajesh Mirchandani, broadcaster, food-fan, story whisperer.




EPISODES

Episodes

Episode 0: Have a taste


Welcome to Finding Our Flavor, a podcast that wants to know: how does the food
we grow up with help shape the people we grow up to be? Each week a special
guest shares their food and their stories. Come for the tastes and the tales,
leave with recipes, reminiscences and a reminder that much more connects us than
divides us - and often it starts on a plate.

Hosted by broadcaster and fan-of-his-mom’s Indian cooking Rajesh Mirchandani.


Episode 1: Cleyvis Natera and Her Mami’s Habichuelas con Dulce


“Food is one way we manipulate people,” says Dominican-American author Cleyvis
Natera, whose debut novel Neruda on the Park tells of love and loss, family and
food in the Bronx. In this episode, Cleyvis reveals she’s no fan of dessert -
but explains why she can’t resist her mami’s habichuelas con dulce.


Episode 2: Deb Freeman and Her Nana’s Collard Greens


“I’m looking for a connection to my ancestors through food” explains Deb
Freeman, food writer and host of the acclaimed podcast Setting the Table. In
this episode, she shares the recipe for her treasured nana’s collard greens -
made with a twist. And she explains how “there’s very little that African
American hands have not touched when it comes to food in America.”


Episode 3: Pasta a la Puttanesca with Imtiaz Tyab


CBS News foreign correspondent Imtiaz Tyab has covered conflicts all over the
world, and seen how food is a political tool and a great connector across tense
boundaries. He shares a recipe that began his unusual culinary journey to
emulate his mom’s South Asian cooking.


Episode 4: Shahi Paneer with Bobby Friction


British Asian DJ Bobby Friction provided the soundtrack to a golden age for
young British Asians - as they defined their own exciting hybrid culture, with
music, food, and art at its center. But as a child, suffering racist abuse led
him to reject his own South Asian food heritage. These days, he says, even
though racism in Britain hasn’t gone away, Bobby’s found his flavor - and he
can’t get enough of his mom’s shahi paneer.


Episode 5: Naru with Madhushree Ghosh


Madhushree Ghosh describes her memoir Khabaar: An Immigrant Journey of Food,
Memory, and Family as a love letter to the country she left and to the country
she now calls home. Based in San Diego, the Indian-American author squeezed
writing around her day job as a biotech cancer specialist, a role where she also
champions diversity and belonging. Here, she mixes science with art when she
joins Rajesh in person to make naru - a Bangladeshi coconut treat.


Episode 6: Cornish Hens Filipino Style with Malaka Gharib


“It was almost like my true roots were exposed by sharing this recipe with you,”
says Malaka Gharib, NPR editor, cartoonist, and graphic novelist. Growing up in
California with Filipino and Egyptian parents, she recalls being encouraged to
“suppress the Filipino and Egyptianness so you could succeed in this country.”
In this episode, she explains how she reconnected with her unique heritage - to
find her flavor - and celebrate this delicious dish.


Episode 7: Second Helpings


Who insisted spices were washed off their childhood food? Who struggled to learn
English from kids TV? Who survived the pandemic by learning their mother’s
recipes? Exciting, diverse guests share stories rich with recipes and
reminiscences, tales and tastes of how the food we grow up with helps shape the
people we grow up to be. Enjoy some second helpings in this bonus episode!

his own mom’s amazing Indian recipes too. “Food is the great connector,” he
says. “It’s an expression of our shared humanity. Finding Our Flavor celebrates
what brings us closer together - the foods we love, and the unique flavor that
makes each of us who we are.”
