You Can Cook Indian Food at Home with Heartland Masala
mardi 26 mai 2026 • Durée 45:42
When Indian food is on the menu at Catherine’s house, it usually means ordering dosa, saag paneer, and cauliflower Manchurian from a favorite local spot. But why do so many of us love eating Indian food while feeling intimidated to cook it at home?
This week, Catherine is joined by Auyon and Jyoti Mukharji, the son-mother duo behind Heartland Masala, for a warm, funny, and practical conversation about bringing Indian cooking into your own kitchen.
They talk about:
- Why Indian home cooking doesn’t have to feel overwhelming
- Building confidence with spices, techniques, and pantry staples
- Family recipes, tradition, and adaptation across generations
- What American home cooks often misunderstand about Indian food
- How Heartland Masala makes this rich culinary tradition more accessible
Whether you’ve always wanted to dust off your spice grinder or you’re simply curious to learn more about the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine, this episode is a delicious place to start.

Veg Forward Local Hawai'i Food with Alana Kysar
mardi 19 mai 2026 • Durée 41:30
This week, Catherine chats with cookbook author, photographer, and recipe developer Alana Kysar about the rich, comforting world of local Hawaii food — and how she transformed some of Hawaii’s most beloved flavors into vegetable-forward recipes in her new cookbook, Aloha Veggies.
They dive into the cultural influences that shape Hawaii’s culinary identity, and why dishes like katsu, laulau, poke, and plate lunches are about so much more than vacation food. Alana also shares what it’s like to photograph her own cookbooks, navigate the modern food media landscape, and build a creative career that spans blogging, writing, recipe development, and photography.
Plus:
- Why Hawaii cuisine is far cozier (and more comforting) than people expect
- The surprising challenge of “vegifying” traditional dishes
- What Alana always keeps in her pantry
- The creative freedom of writing a second cookbook
- How California changed the way she thinks about vegetables
- Cleaning as a strategy for calming a busy brain
If you love food, Hawaii, cookbooks, creativity, or thoughtful conversations about cooking and culture, this episode is for you.
