Cook books are hugely popular the world over. Amanda Clegg and Victoria Byrne have together written a cook book that is unique in so many ways to the vast number that are out there.
On this podcast I have the privilege of interviewing Amanda about her book “Hope and Spice: Authentic recipes and stories of transformation from the slums of Delhi.” Here is a short video recorded with Amanda and Victoria at the launch of the book back in November 2018:
Do come and join us on the podcast for this fascinating conversation with Amanda as we explore:
- How Amanda’s passion for India, food and encouraging those in slum communities in Delhi came together with an idea of an Indian cookbook.
- The work of the charity Asha started by Dr Kiran Martin in a slum in Delhi in 1988 has dramatically grown and multiplied to bring holistic health and wellbeing to greatly disadvantaged individuals and famillies.
- The story of Samina who has been empowered to be a community health volunteer to other women in her slum.
- Chandan who not only has been able to complete a degree in Mathematics, but has also been granted a scholarship to do a Masters degree in the UK.
- The evolution of the idea of a cookbook to combine recipes with inspiring stories of changed lives from the Delhi slums.
