Dr. Kurush F. Dalal

Dr. Kurush Dalal moves fluently between archaeology, culinary anthropology and the living kitchen. His research uncovers how communities cook, trade and preserve food, while his work at Katy’s Kitchen keeps the legacy of Parsi cuisine alive in contemporary Mumbai. He brings scholarship and warmth in equal measure, proving that recipes are archives and that the everyday act of feeding others is also an act of cultural memory.
