Kishori Rajan's Chaotic Upma with Indian Pickle, Watermelon, and Gummy Black Cats

Kishori Rajan is the producer of such shows as HBO's Random Acts of Flyness and Eater's Guide to the World and is currently the vice president of development and production for Tessa Thompson's production company, Viva Maude. In today's episode, Kishori talks about her mother's amazing cooking, how she can't quite master it herself, how she likes to cook for a dinner party, and how she overcomes disaster (like the time she dropped an entire Basque cheesecake on the floor). We also cover producing food television, the qualities of a good producer, whether or not she's a perfectionist, the Supper Club she does with her friends, and the early days of food blogging.
