REMIXING FLAVORS IN A 30-SOMETHING BROWN GIRL'S KITCHEN

the Tash behind
the Mash

As a communications strategist, I've been fortunate to narrate important stories for Fortune 500 companies, governments, non-profits, and trade associations all over the globe.

When it comes to telling my own story, there's no better way to do so than by talking about – FOOD and DRINKS!

Over the years, I've spent a lot of time learning about the politics of food, the exoticization of BIPOC spices, dishes, & of food writers.

This has allowed me to not only have a better understanding of food history, but also realize my responsibility to introduce, educate, and preserve my identity and culture by sharing my food story with others.

I believe that good food and drinks are truly the world's best connector!

HAPPY HOUR

GULAB JAMUN
OLD FASHIONED

Real talk, when the party needs to be maintained, this Gulab Jamun Old Fashioned is your party maintainer and she takes her job seriously.
The subtle hints of cardamom and saffron in the syrup really show up to show out against the whiskey. I always need a few cherries for a garnish, so don't forget those either! They really take the old-fashioned up a notch and you know me... I am a big fan of garnishes that add value & then some.

CHAATCHOS

I’m happy to introduce you to a glorious situation: chaatchos. The things that I love about my favorite chaats (nicely spicy, a little sweet and tangy, sour, umami bomb flavored category of Indian street food) in Totchos form! Truly, the highlight of my 2020 quarantine woes.

MOCKTAILS

I love making mocktails because as a recipe developer who has a passion for creating cocktails- I find developing mocktail recipes challenging and dare I say it...more fun. Why? While ginger ale with a few cranberries in it is a beautiful and easy festive drink to whip up...what if we are able to give our friends who love mocktails something better with the same amount of effort?
