In this episode of Everyday Empires, we sit down with Sohini Banerjee — economist turned chef, and the creative force behind Smoke & Lime, one of London’s most unique Bengali supper clubs.
Born in Kolkata and raised in the UK, Sohini has worked with trailblazers like Asma Khan and Rohit Ghai before creating her own path. Since 2018, she and her husband have welcomed guests into their home — serving a seasonal and zero-waste menu that blends heritage, sustainability, and creativity.
But Smoke & Lime is more than food. It’s about preserving culture, celebrating connections, and being your authentic self.
In this conversation, Sohini opens up about:
– Being bullied as a child for her clothes and food — and why she never stopped embracing her heritage
– Why she doesn’t want to open a restaurant, and instead calls herself “the Bengali Omakase Chef”
– Building an entrepreneurial path that celebrates culture while staying true to her values
– Why supper clubs are the future of dining in London
If you’re curious about food entrepreneurship, cultural identity, sustainable dining, or London’s evolving supper club scene, this episode is for you.
🎙️ Everyday Empires brings you the real stories of entrepreneurs, creators, and change-makers — no fluff, no filters.
