Eat This Podcast: Black Stoneflower: A unique Indian spice

In 1997, Priya Mani fished something strange out of the cauliflower soup she was served at a wedding banquet in India. She didn’t know what it was, she knew only that she was not willing to eat it. Twenty-five years later, her article in Art of Eating shared her discoveries about a spice essentially unknown even in India, one that makes a very elusive contribution to flavour, best described as “you know it when it’s missing”.

Take a listen to Priya’s story.

Season's greetings, if that's your thing. There will be one more Eat This Newsletter next week, and I hope you will find it fun.

Take care
