Description

Can the cuisine of your childhood or the food of your heritage truly sustain you? What happens when a single recipe becomes a time machine, transporting you back to a kitchen table, a holiday, a moment that shaped you? This episode explores the powerful intersection of memory, place, and flavor. I catch up with Omid Roustaei, The Caspian Chef, to unpack how memory drives recipe development and ask the bigger question: Can you ever really go home, or do you have to cook your way back there?
