In a new format for XO Soused, we welcome a guest!
Susan Jung - arguably the most powerful voice in East and South East Asian food and cookery - sits with Andrew and Mukta to explore;
why apprenticeships are sometimes better than formal culinary education
how a well-timed lunch can help launch a food writing career
what makes Susan angry as a restaurant reviewer
Susan’s favourite meal
What fried chicken reveals about East and South East Asia
the special artisanal ingredients that elevate East and South East Asian cookery
Susan’s book, Kung Pao and Beyond, Fried Chicken Recipes from East and Southeast Asia is available from bookshops and online at Hive.
Apéritif: Susan, Mukta and Andrew talk a little more about chicken
Intro and outro music: 遊子 [wanderer] by mafmadmaf.com
