Episode 31 | A Writer’s Voice | December 2nd

Jaya Saxena

Show Notes: Writer and Author Jaya Saxena was recently honored with a writing award by the International Association of Culinary Professionals for an article entitled “Martha Stewart’s ‘Entertaining’ Let Me Party Like It’s 1982”. She has written for online publications like Gothamist and Eater and is now starting a book project. As it happens in NYC, she grew up on East Tenth Street just a couple of flights down from Melanio. We’re happy to catch up with how her professional life has evolved, talk about food stories, favorite restaurants in NYC, Mexico City and New Orleans food meccas and so much more.
