Based on the award-winning Hulu series Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi..Padma Lakshmi is an Emmy-nominated food expert, television producer, and bestselling author. She is the creator of the critically-acclaimed Hulu series, Taste the Nation. She’s served as host and executive producer of Bravo’s Top Chef. She is co-founder of the Endometriosis Foundation of America and an ACLU Artist Ambassador for immigrants’ rights and women’s rights..“Padma pushes past the familiar borders of American cooking, telling the immigrant stories that season the nation’s table. It’s American food in its truest form. . . . borderless, fearless, and extraordinarily delicious.”—Yotam Ottolenghi.Padma Lakshmi’s newest book is a love letter to the people who create and evolve American cuisine every day—a road map to the foods that give America its vibrant, kaleidoscopic palate..When 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..Padma’s All American: Tales, Travels and Recipes from Taste the Nation and Beyond is the result of seven years of traveling and tasting, listening and observing. The book includes dozens of mouth-watering recipes from the immigrant and Indigenous communities she has visited, as well as many from her own family, showing us what really comprises American cuisine..This is a joyful book—a reflection of who we truly are as a nation, from one of our most essential culinarians.
