Keep Calm And Cook On With Julia Turshen

Asha Gomez, the chef and cookbook author, sits down with Julia for a conversation that casts a wide net and covers everything from switching gears to finding your own voice and using it. They discuss her venue, The Third Space, and the impetus behind it. They talk about finding out what works by first finding out what doesn't. They talk about how Asha continuously explores her two Souths— the area of Southern India where she’s from and the area of the American South where she calls home. They also discuss the perception, and misconception, of Indian food in America. The conversation closes on Asha’s advocacy work and finding the power of her own voice.
