ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF 2025: The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Taste of Home

"[Lakshmi] is the perfect person to help us understand how immigrants are changing the way Americans eat . . . . A spicy blend. . . . Delicious." - The Wall Street Journal

In this very personal book--the result of seven years of traveling and tasting, listening and observing for her award-winning Hulu show Taste the Nation--Padma Lakshmi compiles more than 100 recipes from the immigrant and Indigenous communities she visits, as well as many from her own family, showing us what really comprises American cuisine.

Recipes include:

- Plum Chaat - Tomato Egg Drop Soup - Yogurt Tahdig - Pasta all'Amatriciana
- Jollof Rice - Saag and Grits - Shoyu Poke - Pad Thai Fish - Jerk Chicken
- Amazonian Tamales - Biracial Latkes - Vegetable Pakori - Coconut Rice - Banana Lumpia - Strawberry-Cardamom and Cream Cake - Masala Chai -

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. It is a joyful book--a love letter to the people who create and evolve American cuisine every day and a road map to the foods that give America its vibrant palate, from one of our most essential culinarians.
