Ishay Govender-Ypma is a food and travel journalist and author of “Curry.”

This week we discuss the intersection of curry and colonialism: what happens when a food journalist uses the lens of social justice to examine who eats what, how, and why? We also discuss what once seemed like a never-ending assignment, structuring research materials, and making time to enjoy the process of reporting and writing.
