A Letter from the Chef

Anand Deshpande

7 Episodes

Contained in a recipe is a treasure of knowledge. Look deep enough and a dish tells you what’s available and what’s scarce for the cook, what’s important to them to show off- their medicine, religion, politics, history, economics. It’s all in the food that’s served to you. In short, a recipe is a letter from the chef connecting you to them in the most intimate, human, life-giving way.

A Letter from the Chef seeks to bring to light the stories presented by recipes and food traditions. We’ll dive into specific dishes and traditions to better understand the elements that created them to better learn about one another. We’ll aim to release a new episode during the season every two weeks.
