Padma Lakshmi

Padma Lakshmi Instagram – This book is a love letter – to the people who create and evolve American cuisine every day, and to the foods that give America its vibrant palate.

The cookbook chronicles my time on the road during Taste the Nation, interpretting each dish so you can experience the breadth of flavors from across the country in the comfort of your own kitchen. While these are global flavors, they have all been brought here by the immigrants who have built this country and made it what it is today.

Taste the Nation started out as a book idea seven years ago and then turned into the show that we all know and love. While the show won’t be returning, I am excited to finally share this book with all of you, so that you can have a little bit of Taste the Nation in your homes forever. I want to thank our loyal viewers for all the love you’ve shown us over the years. Creating Taste the Nation has been the joy of my professional life. And all of that joy is in this book.
