Thanks for being here…

This is Screen & Stove, a monthly newsletter that explores a select culture through film and food. Each newsletter features a film essay and recipe video. The film selections are mostly foreign (non-English) and the food selections are mostly vegetarian (lacto-ovo).

My goal is to journal my experiences traveling from home - consider this a budget version of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. To encourage others to join along, I try to select films that are available for streaming and recipes that only require common appliances (e.g. stove or blender).


A blurb about myself…

My name is Sandeep, or Sunny for short, and to describe myself succinctly I will rattle off the following: 28 year-old man, Telugu-American, raised in suburban Cleveland, and a Michigan alum - Go Blue! While I am neither a film critic nor chef by trade, I fancy myself with those titles by hobby.

Few things are as inherently vicarious as film or food. This is an invitation to use both to better understand our immensely diverse world.
