    In this first episode of the new year, I'm chatting with Torie True, food blogger and author of cookbook Chilli and Mint. Torie has always loved food and been surrounded by it but her career was very different until 11 years ago when she decided to leave an all encompassing role in finance 11 years ago to spend more quality time with her two daughters. A year later, she embarked on her food blogging adventures and now, she's just released her first cookbook Chilli and Mint which is filled with Indian recipes from a UK kitchen and it's beautiful. The pages shine with vibrant, bright photography which makes you want to dive straight in and cook every recipe you see.   ------- We talk about her love of Indian cuisine, where that came from and how she has grown her knowledge over the lat 25 years, and the process behind writing her cookbook. There's also chat around some fantastic recipes you can try at home and how the food eaten in the home varies from the stereotypical dishes you find in many local curry houses we all grew up with.

    In this episode, I'm joined by Nadia Hamila. She's a British food lover of Moroccan and Tunisian descent who saw a widening gap in the market for North African food products and launched Amboora to fill that gap. Amboora is more than just a website selling products though, it's a space to learn about North African traditions, learn about sustainability and find recipes.  The website and packaging on the products themselves is incredibly vibrant looking with bright colours like red, orange and yellow that you can almost smell the spices coming off the screen. Nadia has really captured the beauty of a culture and cuisine shaped over centuries by Berber, Arabic, Sub-Saharan, Mediterranean and French influences.  Listen as we talk about her childhood memories visiting family in Tangiers and Marrakech, the importance of getting the balance of spices right and how savoury and sweet work so well in Moroccan food. We also discuss how the pandemic put her original launch plans on hold but actually, now, with a change in direction, Amboora is thriving more than ever. ----- Find Amboora here: Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/myamboora Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/myamboora/ Website - www.amboora.com ----- Follow at the sauce: - https://www.instagram.com/atthesauce - http://www.atthesauce.com
