PRIYA KRISHNA is a food writer who contributes to the New York Times, The New Yorker, Bon Appetit, and more. She is also the author of the college-centric cookbook Ultimate Dining Hall Hacks, and formerly worked for Lucky Peach.
"Priya's writing features the hilarious, heartwarming stories about
her family, and while I've never met her parents, I feel like I
know them (mom loves a good wine pairing, dad loves yogurt, both
love Dunkin' Donuts). Not a lot of cookbooks pack as much
personality and fun--plus these are guaranteed cookable, fantastic
recipes."
--Alex Beggs, Bon Appetit
"With a foreword from Padma Lakshmi and a whiff of early Madhur
Jaffrey about it, Indian-ish marks a moment of change for a cuisine
once silo'd in the West as Mughlai creamy butter chicken and
takeout 'curry' (which, as Priya and I wish to remind you, is not a
thing)."
--Sanjena Sathian, Food & Wine
"Within the book you'll find delightful, one-of-a-kind recipes,
like roti pizza and tomato rice topped with cheddar cheese --
dishes that are designed to be an entry point into Indian cuisine
-- as well as Priya's heartwarming stories and Ritu's gems of
indispensable wisdom."
--Esra Erol, Eater
"A great starter book for anyone who has ever wondered how to make
basic Indian food in an American kitchen. Priya and Ritu's methods
are approachable, easy to execute, and employ everything from
microwaves to Instant Pots, because that is the way most Americans
do things now."
--From the foreword by Padma Lakshmi, host/executive producer of
Bravo's Top Chef and author of the New York Times
best-selling Love, Loss, and What We Ate
"I am impossibly excited about this book. Priya's personality and
fresh, bold voice jump off the page, and her FAQ page is alone
worth the cover price. Bring on the kachumber, dahi toast, and
tomato rice with crispy cheddar, please!"
--Deb Perelman, author of Smitten Kitchen Every Day and
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
"Indian-ish is not only a collection of wonderful and
delicious recipes but, more important, it sends a powerful
message--we can all tap into our heritage to access the recipes
that connect us to where our parents and grandparents came
from."
--Antoni Porowski, cohost of Queer Eye and author of the
forthcoming Antoni in the Kitchen
"Priya Krishna is one of the most important young voices on the
food scene and Indian-ish combines everything that makes her so
brilliant: her unique take on Indian food, her clever prose, and
her love of her family."
--Kerry Diamond, editor-in-chief of Cherry Bombe
"Indian-ish isn't just a book of really appealing,
well-tested, approachable recipes (and it is!), it's also about a
mother-daughter relationship and taking pride in where and who you
come from. It won't just make you excited to cook, it will also
encourage you to consider the people and dishes that make you you.
I'm so grateful that Priya and her mother, Ritu, shared theirs with
us."
--Julia Turshen, author of Now & Again, Feed the
Resistance, and Small Victories and the Founder of
Equity at The Table
