This week's guest is none other than Kumud Gandhi, a renowned food scientist, keynote speaker, published author, food writer, broadcaster, and the founder of 'The Cooking Academy.' As National Garlic Day approaches on April 19th, 2024, what better way to celebrate than to listen to Kumud who is a garlic expert who recently released a book 'The Garlic Story'.  The Garlic Story, is a unique cookbook that focuses on a single, humble, and often overlooked ingredient: garlic. The Garlic Story highlights garlic and shows readers how to use this underappreciated allium to transform their home cooking.

Kumud also discusses her garden design and influences. Also, in this episode, Amy and Chay are perplexed about how to say when someone sows seed outside in the ground.

In addition, to commemorate National Garlic Day, Kumud has generously donated a copy of her amazing book for giveaway. Please visit our Instagram page to find out how you can enter the giveaway.
