We’d all be a little better off (and healthier off!) if we understood how food works. How it was grown, how it was marketed, what happens to it when it’s being cooked, what happens to it when it’s digested, and so on. 

To discuss all this - and more - Krish Ashok joins your host, Chuck aka Deepak, on the show. Ashok is a techie, musician, humorist, and more - and in 2020 wrote a book called Masala Lab, where he unravels the science of cooking in the Indian kitchen. This conversation touches upon various aspects of how to hack the kitchen, fool your brain (in a good way!), and be more mindful - all within the limits of practicality. We think you’ll love this episode, especially Ashok’s wonderful little lines like “cooking is just digestion outsourced”.
