Episode 106
Among the many treasures which India possesses is its culinary diversity, which varies dramatically from north to south and east to west. And that which is showcased in Indian restaurants is just a glimpse of those riches.
On this week’s podcast, we’re chatting with Ruta Kahate, cookbook author and owner of Ruta’s Vibrant Indian Cafe about that diversity and what she hopes to showcase at her new restaurant. During our time with her, she tells us the story of her journey to food – from growing up in India to her experiences living and cooking in both California and India – as well as the reasons she chose Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the home for her latest restaurant endeavor.
