The former journalist who is working hard to bring back the golden age of Bengali Cuisine: Pritha Sen on #foodocracyforher

Radio Finely Chopped by Kalyan Karmakar

I am proud to present Pritha Sen in the latest episode of #FoodocracyForHer.

Look up any article on the food of Bengal and its history in recent times and chances are that you will find a quote from Pritha Sen in it. She has been called a food historian and anthropologist, though she likes to call herself a food researcher. Her story did not start with food though. She was a teacher at the start of her career. Then a journalist with marque publications such as Sunday, Business Today, Asian Age and Outlook, where she got to work with some of the top editors of our time. She then worked in the sustainability sector. Food happened somewhere along the line and she began writing on food, researching its oral history, conducting pop ups, curating pop food festivals. She worked as a chef consultant for the Mustard Restaurant and with hotels such as the Oberoi Hotels and the ITC Hotels and creating Bengali menus for them. She is currently associated with Gormei platform in creating some fabulous food experiences.

We first met through social media and I feel privileged to call her my friend. She is elder to me and I jokingly call her pishi (aunt), but our chat today shows the deep respect and affection that I have for her.
