She’s also a close friend of Aliza’s, so we invited Mehreen onto the podcast to ask her questions like: “Why did you want to do this?” And: “What’s it really like to cook for the most feared judge in food?” MORE FROM MEHREEN KARIM:Olive Oil Is the Cake Cheat Code [TASTE]Next Level Chef [Official]Crispy Salmon Curry [Official] FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW:instagram.com/reeniekariminstagram.com/alizaraeinstagram.com/taste
