Years ago, Isha co-developed a food podcast with her colleagues Shruti Parekh and Levi Sharpe called Mother Tongue, which explored history, culture, migration, and identity through the universal language of food. Learn more and listen to the pilot episode here!

In 2018, Isha developed and launched Soma, a supper club, in which she cooked and prepared traditional Sri Lankan lamprais, a meal served in a banana leaf, a coalescence of strong flavors: spicy, salty, pungent, sweet, tangy. Drawing on her experience in food service and culinary knowledge handed down from her late grandmother, a Tamil food writer, Isha developed the recipes for the nine different components, a meditation on history, colonialism, movement, community, memory, and flavor.
