America's Test Kitchen is a Dream Job - Kaumudi Marathé

Today I'm interviewing Kaumudi Marathé, the cookbook author and chef behind Un-Curry, a company that is dedicated to sharing the richness of India's culinary traditions through cooking classes, catering, and popups. Originally from India. Kaumudi is a former journalist who got tired of hearing Americans describe Indian food as Curry. Her first cookbook, Maharashtrian Cuisine: A Family Treasury, was the first English language cookbook about the region and her second book, The Essential Marathi Cookbook, offers a more comprehensive look at its' cuisines. In 2017, her memoir Shared Tables, Family Stories, and Recipes from Poona to LA, was published. That same year, she applied for a job teaching cooking on ships and was thrilled to discover it was for America's Test Kitchen. Two years later, with her daughter heading to college, Kaumudi decided to take the plunge and apply for a job as a senior book editor where she has just recently started.
