This episode is a fun conversation I have with my friend Desdemona. We talk about food in our life from our childhood to our current life with our family. Desdemona and I are both South Asian women. We both live in Switzerland having grown up in the UK and US. We talk about our earliest memories with our grandmothers who probably instilled in us the love of food. We talk about how we combine food from all the different cultures that is part of us.

Desdemona is a scientist, a mother of two fun loving daughters, she is a working mom, who also finds the time to have many volunteering projects.
