    Mauritius special: Are we resort people now? (Spoiler: No)

    Welcome! In this episode, Sohini and Rijul are recording on the beach in Mauritius. Something about the island atmosphere sees them focus on memories of family holidays past (good and not so good), the vibe of being in a resort-style hotel for the first time since their adolescence, and Sohini's brother's most inopportune vomits abroad. Condiment corner is a local Mauritian favourite with a distinctly Bangali feel...

    Welcome to a new season of Yet Another Couple Podcast, brought to you by Sohini and Rijul. Back after a five year hiatus, this week's episode sees us reflect about the advent of moving between decades, into our thirties.

    Episode 9: What does spicy even mean?

    This week we're talking all things SPICE. Turns out, there is more to a dish than how "spicy" it is.

Condiment corner shows the Maggi corporation some love.

    Episode 8: Are recipes ruining our intuition?

    This week, after a brief hiatus, Sohini and Rijul are back doing what they do best: writing episode descriptions in the third person for some reason, and discussing food. They tackle the concept of "the recipe", address our over-reliance on them and advocate for a more mindful, creative approach to making your dinners, whilst also making a case for why the world needs its plethora of cookbooks. Condiment corner slaps hard with the definitive Bengali street food sidekick.
