Obviously we were going to do an episode about Madhur Jaffrey, and so here it is.

Madhur Jaffrey: the actress who taught British and American audiences how to cook Indian food.

Lewis Bassett speaks about Madur with Mayuk Sen, author of Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America. We talk about Madur's life, some of the barriers to her success as an actress and her move into being a celebrity chef where she made huge waves, plus a lot more. Find out more about Mayuk Sen here and read his article on Madur here (paywalled).

The Full English is produced by Lewis Bassett. Mixing and sound design is from Forest DLG.
