Nerd Kitchen

Another episode that was part of the data recovery process, but we're glad to finally bring to light.

In this episode, Chef Neelma joins us and takes us on a journey to East Africa as we learn about the Indians who've migrated there and the how they've blended their cuisine with the local culture.

Here's an episode that was recorded over 2 years ago but never made the pod. Blame it on a corrupt disk but thanks to the magic of Google drive, we discovered a backup and were able to get this out!

On this episode Max is joined by all-in-all superstar @krishashok as they talk about his(then newly released) book and deconstruct their favorite masalas.

In this episode, Max is joined by Viggnesh the founder of the Madras Coffee movement, who goes by @roastbrewandyou on Instagram.

In this episode, Max is joined by Swetha Sivakumar from @upgrade_my_food as they take a peek into the labels at the back of packages. While the Front of the Package(FOP) can have a lot of marketing spiel, the label at the back often speaks the truth.

There's a ton of misinformation floating around by influencers that deem anything that isn't commonly available as bad. While that isn't always the case, we take a look at preservatives, emulsifiers, fats & other additives that are necessary and not harmful versus ones you should try to avoid.

Sit back, with a notepad or burn into your memory so that the next time you're at the grocery store, you know what to look for.

Hey there, It's your friendly neighborhood food podcast back for season 2. Just in case you thought this was yet another defunct podcast, we refuse to go down without a fight.

In this episode Ajit joins Max as they talk about the worlds favorite beverage, Tea! All the way from the origins to how it took entire nations in its grip and how its cultivated and industrialized today.

Let us know what you think of the episode and share it with your friends as we've probably lost a lot of followers at this point!

For this episode we had @anoosrini join us as we talked about the forgotten foods from Tamil Brahmin kitchens. A lot of greens, grains, and cooking/preservation techniques are now lost with modern farming practices and supermarkets. 

Listen on as we reminisce about some of the things we grew up eating and can no longer find them around.

For this episode, Max & Ajit read up on the humble Fennel and go down this rabbit hole to discover it may well be the superfood we never talk about! From Prometheus to the sad bowl at cash registers in Indian restaurants, hop on to follow this journey of Fennel.

We pick up the conversation from where we left it, as @AmritaOfLife talk to @maxdavinci & @ajit_bhaskar more about the Doshas in Ayurveda and what foods one may have to avoid or consume in moderation based on their body types.

In this episode, @maxdavinci & @ajit_bhaskar are joined by special guest @AmritaOfLife from "Life ki Recipe", as she takes them back to the Vedic times and helps them identify why certain body types must either consume or avoid certain food groups.

In this episode, Chef, Writer, Photographer, and overall nicest guy @dan_lepard joins @ajit_bhaskar & @maxdavinci as they talk about his culinary journey, food, and its cultural significance in Australia, Britan, and India.
