Description

"I never had to leave the country to taste the world's flavors. Wherever you live, come along with me."

This book is a love letter to the people who create and evolve American cuisine every day. It is also a road map to the foods that give America its vibrant palate.

When Padma Lakshmi arrived in New York City in the 1970s, she witnessed firsthand the cuisines of the immigrant communities around her: uniquely their own and yet quintessentially American. Here, in this very personal book--the result of seven years of traveling and tasting, listening and observing for her show Taste the Nation--Lakshmi compiles dozens of recipes from the immigrant and Indigenous communities she visits, as well as many from her own family, showing us what really comprises American cuisine.

For Lakshmi, food is a lens. Through it, we can explore the influence of an eclectic array of cultures--and come to see, clearly, who we are and how we eat as a nation. Padma's All American gives us a kaleidoscopic view of the vast range of incredible dishes she delighted in tasting on her travels, from coast to coast, and everywhere in-between.

From Indian coconut rice and Peruvian tamales with chicken to Afghani dumplings with leeks and scallions--from Oaxacan mushroom tacos to a strawberry, cardamom and cream cake that will be your new favorite celebration treat--Padma's All American is filled with mouth-watering recipes, adapted here for the home cook--along with profiles and stories from the people who inspired the dishes. Padma's All American is a joyful book--a reflection of who we truly are as a nation, from one of our most essential culinarians.

Based on the award-winning Hulu series Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi.
