In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, talks to Stephen Fried about his book, “Appetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad Hospitality Empire That Civilized the Wild West.” In this book, Stephen Fried talks about Fred Harvey, an Englishman who, in 1876, came to the US with literally nothing in his pocket. Harvey ended up building up America’s first brand of dining rooms, created Harvey Hotels, and popularized the Harvey Girls, a well-dressed and well-informed group of servers that ensured guests dined well and be on their trains in 30 minutes. Harvey was one of the most famous people in the US and yet, now, people seem to have forgotten him and his restaurants and hotels. Stephen Fried attempts to alter that with this terrific book.

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will be looking at a superstar of the British culinary scene, but whose often more basic measures found her in opposition to some other culinary stars on British TV. Delia Smith has sold more than 21 million books in the UK often appearing in the top sellers every year. She has appeared on countless TV shows dedicated to her style of cooking. She was once described as the “Volvo” of cooking, but the effect she had on the UK in the 80s, 90s, and aughts was so profound that if she mentioned an ingredient or a tool, the next day it would become out of stock in every supermarket. Delia Smith has earned close to $50 million in the UK alone and even bought her local soccer team, Norwich City, whom she loves. A great character and a very good cook.

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will be looking at the story of lamb (and hogget and mutton). The story of sheep meat is an ancient one. Its earliest use can date back to a Mesopotamian recipe known to archeologists from clay tablets which dates back to 1730 BCE. Today, many people in the U.S.A. consider it to be “to gamey” and is way behind the sales of other proteins such as beef, pork and chicken. It is, however, popular in many other areas such as in Central Asia where it is the meat of choice, to Australia where the leg of lamb is a hugely popular Sunday meal, and New Zealand where there are more sheep than people. This episode will also explore the use of goat for milk, cheese and for meat too.

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will share the story of MFK Fisher, a wonderful food writer who lived from 1908 to 1992. She was one of the most famous food writers in the U.S. and arguably the person who established the genre of food memoirs.

Simon Majumdar is back.
Get ready to delve into a whole new season of Eat My Globe!
Season 3 is packed with loads of new stories, historical food facts and some very well known guests.
It all starts October 7th, 2019!
Very few individuals can claim to have had as much impact on the way we eat today (in the West, at least) as George Auguste Escoffier. During his life he redefined the way kitchens worked and the style in which food was presented to diners. He also created thousands of dishes and wrote books that are still considered culinary bibles today. Behind the scenes however, he led a life that was often much darker than his public persona. This episode of Eat My Globe will look at the life and works of the greatest chef of them all.

The world of food is filled with many examples that show how cultures can combine to created new dishes, and indeed whole new cuisines.

One example is the increasingly popular noodle soup, Pho.
In this episode, we look at how this soup came to be and how it went from being a local specialty in the north of the country to being one of the most popular soups in the world.

So much has been written about the Titanic and its fate in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, that it might be hard to say anything new.
However, in these two episodes, our host, Simon Majumdar, will look not only at the history of the ship itself, but at what the food served to passengers in each of the classes carried onboard can tell us about society and the way people ate at the time.

Without his morning cup of tea – and a number more throughout the day – our host, Simon Majumdar, simply wouldn’t be able to function. And, he is not alone as, with the exception of water, tea is the most popular drink on earth.
Tea has certainly had a fascinating history and Simon will follow it from its origins as a Chinese medicine, through its time as key element in Japanese ritual, through the opium Wars and to the greatest culinary espionage story of all time.

Sushi has grown from being a subsection of Japanese cuisine to being perhaps Japan’s most famous global export. It is now a huge business and is sold in outlets ranging from fine dining establishments to convenience stores. Quite a story for a dish that was originally created to preserve fish before refrigeration.
In this episode, our host, Simon Majumdar, follows the path of sushi’s rise from the origins of preservation in the Mekong to its arrival in the West. Oh, and he even looks at the thorny issue of who invented the California Roll.
