Yasmin Khan

Book Shambles

This week Robin and Josie are joined by author Yasmin Khan to talk about her knew book Ripe Figs which is part cookbook, part travel book that traces recipes from the Mediterranean from the time of Ottoman rule to the influence of recent refugee communities. They chat about the inspiration for the book, favourite recipes, first cookbooks, best cookbooks and the best food from around the world plus a whole lot more.

To hear more chat, subscribe to the extended version on Patreon at patreon.com/bookshambles
