Mayukh Sen’s ‘Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food In America’ traces Julie’s journey, and that of six other women who made a mark on the American culinary scene
Julie Sahni is something of an anomaly in this age of celebrity. She is famous, but few know her in India, her land of birth. She was born Deepalakshmi Ranganathan Iyer, on the night of Diwali, in October 1945. A convent-educated aunt gave her the French nickname Jolie, which morphed into Julie.
