From a beloved Food Network personality, a beautifully written cookbook that weaves Indian and Middle Eastern recipes from the author’s childhood with American dishes she has grown to love.

Aarti Paarti: An American Kitchen with an Indian Soul is a collection of memories and recipes that makes cooking with traditional Indian flavors and spices approachable for the US market. Aarti’s stories dissolve the “foreign-ness” of Indian flavors and make seemingly complicated technique and flavor accessible. She simplifies traditional recipes, offering many specific how-to’s and  tips on using traditionally Indian spices in new ways. And there is a streak of Middle Eastern in some of these recipes, given her youth in Dubai. Recipes include: 

Cornflake & Kaya French Toast
Real Deal Hummus
Masala Kale Chips
Mum’s Everyday Dal
Bombay Sloppy Joes
and much, much more!

The narratives that open each chapter are wonderfully evocative, telling the story of a woman who was an outsider experiencing many cultures and cuisines. She finds that food always saves her and encourages us all to find the warmth in cooking.
