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, enRoute (Air Canada), Chatelaine, and more.
You can find me at @amandosanj on Instagram.
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 more than $70,000 for antiracism and mental health charities through small acts of kindness.
KEEPING UP WITH THE DOSANJS
We are always up to something.
We opened Poppadoms in Kelowna in 2009. Back then, we jumped over the pond as a family and started from scratch in a new country and industry. Even after experiencing the dark and twisty parts of restaurant life, we’re still a part of the food and hospitality industry (just in our own little ways).
