Food, Fiction & Inclusivity: The Storytelling Journey of Karan Puri

In this episode of The AboutHer Show, I’m joined by author, columnist, and digital marketing consultant Karan Puri to discuss his creative journey and the art of storytelling. He reflects on how his voice as a storyteller has evolved and shares insights into blending food, fiction, and history in his latest book, Tales Between Tastes, along with his approach to crafting historical fiction for children. We discuss the role of humour in his writing, why food makes a powerful storytelling tool, and a personal food memory close to his heart.

Karan also talks about his experience working on a book inspired by the #MeToo movement, the importance of strong female characters in children’s literature, and his perspective as a male author supporting inclusivity. He reveals how he balances multiple creative and professional roles, the corporate lessons that have shaped his creative journey, and offers advice for aspiring writers, before ending with a fun, rapid-fire round that gives listeners a glimpse into his personality beyond the pages.
