Motivated by things that are very tasty, Bhagya and Carl are travelling to the motherland of Sri Lanka to visit forest gardens, coconut mills, rice paddies, and Aachi’s house. We will also eat: leaning into the warm embrace of our home cuisine and learning some aunties’ secrets along the way.

In Sri Lanka they say “never arrive with your arms hanging,” an ode to the importance of reciprocity. So we will share what we find: not just a story but food to be proud of, produced with love for people and in concert with the island’s rich biodiversity.
