Each episode blends medicine, neuroscience, and real insights for solutions that actually work and help make lasting change.
What can samyal (Tamil for “cooking”) and cricket teach us about life’s universal challenges?
As Sasi Krishnan puts it – well, everything. In our next episode, we speak with Sasi, a cookery teacher, speaker, and recently published author on how lessons learned in the kitchen can transform how we approach the uncertainties and stresses of life. She speaks about her own lived experience, how we can approach food with a fresh mindset (to match the ingredients), and what happens when we stop chasing perfection.
This episode is best paired with your favourite coffee or chai.
Meet and Connect with Sasi:
Sasi Krishnan is a UK-based cookery teacher, speaker, and author of Silent Innings. Her work centres around authentic Indian home cooking, rooted in everyday practice rather than restaurant-style food.
Through her teaching and speaking, she explores the role of food beyond recipes and how it connects to mindset, routine, and overall wellbeing. With subtle Ayurvedic influences, her approach focuses on balance, simplicity, and cooking in a way that fits real life, not perfection.
Alongside her work in food, her book Silent Innings reflects on life through the lens of cricket, offering a quiet perspective on resilience, timing, and the phases we all move through.
At the heart of her work is a simple connection – the way we cook, the way we live, and the way we show up, are not separate.
