Cooking up Moe Koffman's 'Curried Soul' recipe with new As It Happens podcast

Since 1972, Moe Koffman's track Curried Soul has provided the backbone for our theme music. We've done many stories on the funky, flute heavy track but somehow we missed one major detail about the iconic recording.

For some reason, on the back of the original 1969 album, Koffman included a recipe for Curried Soul instead of liner notes. As far as we know, the lamb curry recipe has gone unnoticed and untested … until now.

So, this summer, we tried cooking up Moe's curry recipe. And then we ate it ...

To hear the story of how the dish ended up on the back of Moe's album and what his curry tastes like, listen to our new As It Happens podcast extra. Hear what happened when we served up the dish at one of our story meetings. The reviews were, well ... lets just say, mixed.
