The Marvelous Madhur Jaffrey

Madhur Jaffrey has been a superstar in culinary circles for decades. She’s an author, an actor, and a global ambassador for the cuisines of India. Madhur has won awards for her work in both film and food, authored more than 30 books, and is a food TV pioneer, having taught probably millions of people how to cook over the years through her shows and videos. Since her youth, she has led a life marked by curiosity and adventure. 

This interview was recorded as part of a special Cherry Bombe members meeting on Zoom featuring Madhur. She joined us to talk about Climbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India, her wonderfully evocative book, plus her garden in upstate New York and some cooking advice.
