with Dyutima Jha
Introduction
Excited to introduce you today (although she needs no introduction in the food photography circles) to Dyutima Jha, the energetic, positive, and professional woman behind the My Food Lens podcast. Dyutima was born and raised by a schoolteacher mother (who also happened to be a radically experimental and wonderful cook) and a neurologist father. Because her father was in the military, Dyutima and her sister moved every 3 years to a different part of India.
Today, with her words and stories, Dyutima takes us on a tour through many of the varied landscapes and historical cities of India. More significantly, she takes us on a journey through the twists and turns of a bold, brave life, including a massively successful career as medical architect, choosing love for her childhood sweetheart over everything, and the surprising choice to start a new career in food photography.
Highlights- “What would you like to eat?” + “We went for two weeks, we ate for 2 years!”

More About The Storied Recipe Podcast
The concept of The Storied Recipe is unique – every guest gives me a recipe that represents a cherished memory, custom, or person. I actually make, photograph, and share the recipe. During the interview, I discuss the memories and culture around the recipe, and also my experience (especially my mistakes and questions!) as I tried it. My listeners and I are a community that believes food is a love language unto itself. With every episode, we become better cooks and global citizens, more grateful for the gift of food, and we honor those that loved us through their cooking.
