Food Marketing FAIL: My Culinary Embarrassment with Meena Patak

Tamsin Daniel, a senior marketing professional and Head of Marketing at Firetree Chocolate, shares her embarrassing culinary f*ck up while supporting celebrity chef Meena Patak during a cooking show filmed in India. 

What begins as an exciting opportunity quickly descends into chaos with illness and a fundamental misunderstanding about chickpeas. 🤣

• Becoming violently ill on day one after eating something unsuitable
• Responsibility for preparing ingredients for Mina's outdoor cooking demonstration
• Mina forced to improvise a new recipe when faced with rock-hard, unusable chickpeas
• Living down "Chickpea Gate" among colleagues
