"Food is the universal glue that brings people together." Discussions, experiences, and memories created around a table or when celebrating food are incredibly special. This Human Chapters conversation was nothing short of engaging, energising, reminiscent, and hearty. Ashni Shah graces us with an indulgent conversation about her passion and love for food and cooking. We are taken on a beautiful journey of its commencement (in an extended family household in Nairobi, Kenya), and its unfolding in the UK. Ashni talks about the kitchen representing her playground, the ingredients being the play equipment, and the final outcome creating joy and providing a unique experience. We discussed a range of opportunities she has engaged in this year and some of these include writing a cookbook (which will be published in 2021), live cooking classes on Instagram, a cooking fundraiser for Community Wildlife Fund - CWF, and many more. Ashni also has heartwarming key takeaways. Ashni can be found on the following platforms:
