Secret Cuisines and Sacred Rituals

An Indian Christmas - Flavors & Festivities of Goa & Mangalore

Secret Cuisines & Sacred Rituals are memoirs of cultures in the voice of their food, traditions, memories and longings. Join me, the host, Vilasi Venkatachalam, as we explore ancient routes, cradles of cultures, culinary traditions, modern renditions of old things, vanishing diaspora, fading rituals… it is more reverence than nostalgia; honoring grit, ingenuity and wisdom and our attempts to do old things in new ways and new things in old ways. This is Season 2. We gather stories, cuisines and rituals from Silk Roads, Spice Routes, Seaports, Trading Posts, Temple Foods, Untried chunk of the Indian East – The 7 Sisters and their Brother of the Blue Hills & Red River.
