Radio Finely Chopped by Kalyan Karmakar

I am proud to present Sohini Basu @lifeoutsidemrsmagpie who runs Mrs Magpie @mrsmagpiecafe , Kolkata, in this episode of #FoodocracyForHer.
Sohini Basu grew up in Kolkata, went to the UK to study fashion and spent the initial years of her career in Kolkata working for Sabyasachi, the famous designer. She then went to Paris to study the business side of fashion.
She fell in love there...with the quaint patisseries of Gay Paree and then went to LCB London to know more about the world of all things sweet.
She returned to Kolkata and decided to start her own patisserie. She wanted to create her own path and eschewed making pastries for cupcakes and opened patisserie Mrs Magpie which is as famous for its cupcakes today as it is for hot chocolate some would say.
9 years down the line Mrs Magpie has 3 branches, has won many fans and awards and its Southern Avenue branch has seen many a romance bloom. To know more, sit back and listen to our chat.
