From Merchant Ivory's Shakespeare Wallah to Law & Order, from her own televised cooking series to a recent appearance in rap music video, 85-year-old Mahdhur Jaffrey has been a star on the stage, screen and ultimately in the kitchen for six decades. She's written 3 children's books and a memoir. On the occasion of the release of her 30th cookbook--in which she argues why Indian food thrives in an Instant Pot--Jaffrey, one of the best known teachers of Indian cooking alive, sat down with Prince Street's Mark Kurlansky to discuss her singular career and share delicious tips and life lessons you won't want to miss.
