Three grandmothers. Three kitchens. Three burgers that will make people forget every basic backyard cookout they've ever been to.

This episode started not with a recipe, but with a phone call to Miss Julie in Ottawa, another to Grandma Layla, and pages of handwritten notes from Dadi Ji Jaspreet. These are the women whose kitchens raised the way we cook at Tea & Turmeric, and nothing went into our spice blends until each of them said yes.

For Fourth of July this year, we're going global. A Jamaican Jerk Burger, a Middle Eastern Shawarma Veggie Burger, and a Tandoori Turkey Burger. One tablespoon of the right blend per pound of meat, a couple of things from your pantry, and about 30 minutes. That's it.

There's also a fresh herb trick in this episode that changes the first bite completely. Simple, but once you know it you won't skip it.

All three recipes are on the blog at teaandturmeric.com. The Global Burger Bundle with all three blends is available online and in the shop in Laguna Beach.
