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.

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.
