The 5 o’clock apodcast with good food
In this episode, Claire Oxford visits to cook with Alexandra Green, curator for Southeast Asia. Alexandra shares her passion for Southeast Asian food, shaped by her childhood in Malaysia and love for rice and lively flavors. Together they prepare Alexandra’s most popular quick and simple Thai chickpea curry – a calming dish that combines classic Thai ingredients with a turn and reflects Alexandra’s own culinary influences.
As they cook, Alexandra talks about her fascinating role in the British Museum and takes care of a huge collection of over 33,000 objects from all over Southeast Asia. It discusses the importance of spices, its trips all over the world and how food and objects combine cultures over time. Alexandra explains how she became the first committed curator for Southeast Asia in the museum, her work on exhibitions and the ongoing efforts to share and document the rich history of the region.
