Episode 5: Interview with Aashi Vel of Traveling Spoon and what happened to food in the year of the Banana Bread

In this episode, Amruta and Satya talk about everybody’s favorite quarantine activity: cooking! We discuss our evolving food journeys and briefly touch upon ‘food fog’ in our lives. We welcome Nicely Done’s first guest, Aashi Vel, co-founder of the Traveling Spoon, a company that sells food experiences to travelers. Tune in to listen to stories of how to make pillowy dumplings from a Chinese grandmother and authentic Mole (that takes hours) from a Spanish home chef. Vel also talks about running a business based on food and travel when the whole world stayed at home. Bonus: Don’t miss our Oscar nom noms. Nicely Done’s Oscar Viewing party continues with a review of Academy Award nominees The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Sound of Metal. CORRECTION: In this episode, Satya erroneously mentions that you have extra 45 days to file your taxes. The tax day has been pushed by 32 days, from April 15 to May 17 in the U.S.  Related links: Read this CNN story: We asked Asian Americans about their experiences with hate.
