Shehnaz Hussain: Chef, author, power-lifter, doctor-in-training - a podcast by RNZ

Shehnaz Hussain's beautiful photos of her culinary skills on Instagram sparked requests for recipes - which has now led to a book called Tang, Spice, Crunch. She'd always had a passion for food, but a bit of lockdown boredom really stirred things up and got her breaking down what she was cooking into recipe form. Proceeds from the book will go to an orphanage in Chennai, India, that her family has had a long association with. Food is just one passion in Shehnaz's life - she's in her final year of medical school with an interest in sports medicine. She's also a powerlifter and has represented New Zealand three times. She's shared her favourite Sundal recipe from the book, and one for a chilli and orange-infused dark chocolate tart.
