125: Alternative Publishing Paths with Barkha Cardoz

Kate and Kristin speak with Barkha Cardoz about the motivations and intentions behind expanding on her late husband Floyd Cardoz's legacy. She speaks about working with masala spice blends and why a collection of recipes was the next best step to demystify and empower home cooks, even though she has seen first hand the demanding nature of the cookbook creation process. She shares what the collaborative relationship was like with Burlap and Barrel, the experience of crowd sourcing recipe testing and why self producing the book allowed for the freedom and malleability of making exactly what they wanted. Finally she talks about Flavorwalla's second life, how Floyd's legacy still shows up in their community and what her plans are for the future.
