The IHM graduate, who has partnered with his friends, Karna Shinde and Nishant Rao for The Boston Butt, first sampled slow-cooked meats while at the Grillstock Festival in the UK. Kashyap, who has worked with the Hyatt Group, took over two years to develop the concept of TBB, which he describes as a smokery and charcuterie. The commodious restaurant, which is named after a cut of pork shoulder, serves food that is mostly inspired by American Deep South. “I’m not sure if it’s all that rustic, but it does have that classic diner feel, and a very New Orleans French Quarter vibe,” says Siddharth Kashyap, chef and partner at the recently opened The Boston Butt, at Kala Ghoda, in Mumbai.

Her tone is down-to-earth and research-based at once, gentle, encouraging, no-nonsense."- Boston Globe "Wilson lays out her discoveries in a series of easily digestible chapters that balance science and anecdote with short interludes on various foods.

But Wilson also shows that both adults and children have immense potential for learning new, healthy eating habits. The way we learn to eat holds the key to why food has gone so disastrously wrong for so many people. Wilson examines why the Japanese eat so healthily, whereas the vast majority of teenage boys in Kuwait have a weight problem - and what these facts can tell Americans about how to eat better.

In First Bite, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson draws on the latest research from food psychologists, neuroscientists, and nutritionists to reveal that our food habits are shaped by a whole host of factors: family and culture, memory and gender, hunger and love.
