Summary

Food has never been more tethered to travel. Instagram, Anthony Bourdain, and others have made the two things bound to each other. And so, we pulled in two of our favorite foodies—*Bon Appétit*'s food director Carla Music (of "Back to Back Chef" YouTube fame) and contributor Priya Krishna—to chat about why food *always* tastes better on vacation, what it takes to recreate our favorite dishes, and cover the trips that introduced us to new foods, from something as simple as fresh pita and hummus in Egypt to pillowy idlis in India.

Find more information about Carla and Priya's new books, along with details for our upcoming live podcast in Austin in the show notes here:

0:44.9	Carla, thank you for joining us.
0:46.0	My pleasure.
0:46.9	If you haven't guessed, based on the fact that both of them have upcoming cookbooks and by the plugs that I just gave them, we are talking today about travel through the lens of
0:55.0	cooking. And so as a reformed picky eater, I have a question for you both, which is what
1:00.8	trip, like iconic trip, made you fall in love with a brand new food? So 10 years ago, my husband
1:08.9	and I were invited to a wedding in India, which I had dreamed of
1:14.0	like getting to go to an Indian wedding, and then it really happened. And we turned the event of the
1:19.8	wedding into like a two-week trip. We went to Mumbai and we went to Delhi and we went to lots of spots in between.
1:29.5	And that is where I first had idly.
