Episode 3: Between Rice & Reason

30/12/25

Episode Three moves through the market and into the kitchen with Miraz, tracing the rhythm of ingredients, memory, and conversation. Together we shop simply, cook his mother’s aloo bhorta, and let the dish carry stories of home, expectation, and belonging.

As the cooking unfolds, Miraz speaks honestly about stepping into the hospitality industry, the weight of comparison, and the fear of not being ready. The episode sits in those moments most people do not show: uncertainty, ambition, and the quiet resolve to keep going anyway.

This chapter is not about perfection or performance. It is about learning through repetition, honouring where you come from, and understanding that growth often starts with admitting doubt. Food becomes the anchor, memory becomes the guide, and the kitchen becomes a place to reflect rather than impress.

Episode Three is a conversation about life, early careers, and the courage it takes to stand behind the pass when you are still finding your voice.
