On this episode of All You Can Eat, meet Madhur Jaffrey, the celebrated cookbook author who has finally written an autobiography of her early years in India. We had a great stroll up and down Main Street in Vancouver, stopping in to the various shops in the Punjabi Market, including a sweet shop.

I also dipped into my Food For Thought archives to round out the program, as I have been thinking about oysters a bit over the past few weeks. Ever since I paid about $45 for 6 raw oysters at a restaurant in Rome! I’ve also been thinking about oyster growers on the West Coast of BC because they have been hit hard by wicked winter storms. You can hear my report from the Clayoquot Oyster Festival in Tofino that took place in December 2003, but for current information on the state of the industry make sure you visit the website of the BC Shellfish Growers Association.
