September 8, 2025: Mountain Music Masala

We’re digging into a bit of delicious history and listening to decades of dedication We sit with Mother-Son authors Jyoti and Auyon Mukharji, who’ve combined their talents to release the cookbook Heartland Masala. The book is an amazing and tasty snapshot not just of cultures meeting within one family, but of history, and interpersonal connections, with Jyoti’s incredible career trajectory from medicine to measuring cups, and Auyon’s growing involvement from musician in the band Darlingside, to recipe consultant, to budding food historian. Also, we’ll tell you how you can ask all your own questions about their recipes and more at their book launch happening this Tuesday at Daily Operation in Easthampton. And we’ll have an extra rare Live Music Monday with Veteran singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith before he plays at the Iron Horse Sept. 9th. And get to hear first hand the thrice Juno award winner’s brand new eighteenth album Hangover Terrace released 40 years after his first self published work and 30+ years after his first official label release. .Plus we’ll peruse the many fruits of Mountain Orchard in Granville with co-owner Chris Teter and learn how the trees on their many acres have shifted and grown over the past 100+ years now that apple season is upon us.
