AMAN DOSANJ (THAT'S ME)

Edible adventures and stories about how food connects us (plus other random thoughts from my neurospicy brain).

I’m a cook, storyteller, former England, Southampton and Arsenal footballer, people watcher, imperfect environmentalist, feminist-in-progress, middle child, and just weird enough to be interesting. My writing has appeared in Food & Wine, ELLE Canada, The Globe and Mail, Serviette, ELLE Gourmet, enRoute (Air Canada), Chatelaine, and more.

You can find me at @amandosanj on Instagram and @aman_dosanj on TikTok.

If you have a question, would like to collaborate or just say hi, give me a shout at aman@paisleynotebook.com.

Oh, and you can also subscribe to my ‘Food Mood’ Substack newsletter. (I mean, if you want to.)

This project is about trust: in your farmer, natural Canadian ingredients and the person cooking for you. Each pop-up dinner has a surprise menu. If you show up with an open mind, magical things can happen (and maybe we can change a few perceptions and behaviours as we go along).

Since its humble beginning in 2017, our small yet mighty ecosystem has raised close to $80,000 for antiracism and mental health charities through small acts of kindness.
