Music, storytelling, and food all come together in a fascinating conversation with Jyoti Mukharji and Auyon Mukharji. The mother-and-son duo stopped by to talk about their new cookbook, Heartland Masala, a flavorful exploration of Indian cooking, culture, and family traditions rooted in the American Midwest.
In our chat, we discuss the inspiration behind the project, the stories and recipes that shaped the book, and how food can connect generations and communities. Jyoti also shares details about the popular cooking classes she hosts from her home kitchen, where students learn techniques, traditions, and the joy of cooking together in an intimate setting. We all know Auyon from the acclaimed folk band Darlingside.
From approachable recipes to meaningful memories around the dinner table, this conversation offers a warm and inviting look into the heart behind Heartland Masala.
