Interview with Award Winning Author, Stephen Fried on the Impact of Fred Harvey on American Food13 Jan 202501:08:45

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, talks to Stephen Fried about his book, "Appetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad Hospitality Empire That Civilized the Wild West." In this book, Stephen Fried talks about Fred Harvey, an Englishman who, in 1876, came to the US with literally nothing in his pocket. Harvey ended up building up America's first brand of dining rooms, created Harvey Hotels, and popularized the Harvey Girls, a well-dressed and well-informed group of servers that ensured guests dined well and be on their trains in 30 minutes. Harvey was one of the most famous people in the US and yet, now, people seem to have forgotten him and his restaurants and hotels. Stephen Fried attempts to alter that with this terrific book.

King of Chefs & Chef of Kings: The Story and Impact of Georges Auguste Escoffier27 May 201900:34:56

Very few individuals can claim to have had as much impact on the way we eat today (in the West, at least) as George Auguste Escoffier. During his life he redefined the way kitchens worked and the style in which food was presented to diners. He also created thousands of dishes and wrote books that are still considered culinary bibles today. Behind the scenes however, he led a life that was often much darker than his public persona. This episode of Eat My Globe will look at the life and works of the greatest chef of them all.

Pho Real: The History of Pho20 May 201900:30:21

The world of food is filled with many examples that show how cultures can combine to created new dishes, and indeed whole new cuisines.

A recent trip to Vietnam proved to confirm that while this splendid country has retained a passion for its own traditional cuisine, the influence of French imperialists has also had a profound impact.

One example is the increasingly popular noodle soup, Pho.

In this episode, we look at how this soup came to be and how it went from being a local specialty in the north of the country to being one of the most popular soups in the world.

The Greatest Of All Time: The History of Lamb, Mutton & Goat Meat09 Dec 202400:42:34

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will be looking at the story of lamb (and hogget and mutton). The story of sheep meat is an ancient one. Its earliest use can date back to a Mesopotamian recipe known to archeologists from clay tablets which dates back to 1730 BCE. Today, many people in the U.S.A. consider it to be "to gamey" and is way behind the sales of other proteins such as beef, pork and chicken. It is, however, popular in many other areas such as in Central Asia where it is the meat of choice, to Australia where the leg of lamb is a hugely popular Sunday meal, and New Zealand where there are more sheep than people. This episode will also explore the use of goat for milk, cheese and for meat too.

Eating Insects: An Interview with Award-Winning Scholar, The Ohio State University Professor, and Cultural Anthropologist, Jeffrey Cohen03 Jun 202400:52:45

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will be interviewing Distinguished Professor and Cultural Anthropologist at The Ohio State University, Jeffrey Cohen. Simon and Jeffrey will talk about insects and how they might become a useful source of protein for some countries. Of the 8 billion people on earth, almost 2 billion of them have some form of insects in their diet. Indeed, they eat almost 2000 types of insects. Insects are filled with protein, micronutrients and energy.

They will also discuss how some of these insects are a delight and have all these elements of energy and proteins. They will also talk about the history of insect eating in some nations, and contrasting those with nations that did not have the same history of insect eating. They will also chat about whether the "yuk" factor can be overcome in those nations that have kept away from including insects in their diet.
