Khushbu Shah (AMRIKAN) & Anni Rossi

Today Darin sits down with food writer and cookbook author, Khushbu Shah, whose new book AMRIKAN is a love letter to the culinary traditions of the Indian American Diaspora. We talk about how immigration shapes food cultures, how her parents adapted their pantry, and she shares some of the delicious recipes that you can find in the book. In the second half of the show, Anni Rossi joins as musical guest.  An American singer, violist, and keyboardist from Minnesota, she graduated from the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley and is notable for her unique style of playing the viola and singing, often at the same time.  Anni shares details surrounding her uniquely constructed instrument as well as her newest release due in the spring.As we head into summer, please consider supporting HRN.
