  • The Legend of the Alphonso Mango

    The Legend of the Alphonso Mango

     The Real Food Podcast, Episode 1
    Jun 27 2019

    The Legend of the Alphonso Mango-
    Vikram Doctor knows our collective passion for the mighty Alphonso (Hapus) mango. Tracing its lineage back to colonial times, Vikram tells us how this beloved variety of mango has witnessed key historic moments, such as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s landmark meeting with US president John F. Kennedy and the Indo-US nuclear pact. But, he warns, our unrealistic demand for Alphonsos is pushing farmers to use excessive chemicals that could - literally - bring us a season of bitter fruit.

    Music - Chris Zabriskie and Josh Woodward

    How Amul Became The Taste Of India

     The Real Food Podcast, Episode 3
    Jun 27 2019
    We Indians love our butter, we really do. It makes everything better. But does ‘our’ butter taste different from butter around the world? Join Vikram Doctor on an utterly butterly delicious journey as he uncovers the very surprising reason behind the unique flavor of the taste of Amul, which is the “Taste of India”. (Music-Josh Woodward) *It has been brought to our attention by Amul that they do not add "diacetyl" to their butter (as mentioned in an earlier version of this podcast), it naturally occurs in cream. We have updated the podcast to reflect the same.
