Spice Club: a newsletter about navigating the food system and home cooking. Sometimes spicy, always plant-based.
Questions of what we eat, why we eat it, and where it comes from speak volumes about our society and its values. Food can be fun, but it can also be messy. This newsletter is about engaging with our food system while celebrating the stories that bring us to our next bite. With plant-based recipes!!!
who I am
I grew up in the Bay Area, California. I’m the daughter of a critical taste tester and my biggest cheerleader, both from Bihar, India. I went to school in LA, where I studied Human Biology & Society and Food Studies, and I’m currently working in the nutrition department of a supportive housing nonprofit before heading to med school in the fall. I throw the occasional dinner party from my 8-foot kitchen. I create recipes for Upbeet Anisha, the blog/Instagram/TikTok where I post my favorites (feel free to check them out if you have no idea what to make for dinner tonight). I enjoy documenting my creations through photos and videos, but I want to slow down and share more nuanced ideas that can’t be covered in a 30-second voiceover!
