APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi has seemingly lived everywhere and tasted everything—and that makes for an eclectic and exciting cookbook. From the chatty introduction through the varied recipes, Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet celebrates our polyglot world. As a result, Lakshmi isn’t afraid to use potentially unfamiliar ingredients in her recipes, but she’s also quick to suggest simpler substitutes. (Don’t have the South Indian staple amchoor—green mango powder—to give a sour note to her crisp-tender crab cakes? Just use lemon juice!) Between recipes, you’ll find brief and memorably sensuous essays about food moments that shaped Lakshmi’s life…as well as genuinely useful tips. Anyone who’s ever tried to peel a pomegranate only to have the fleshy, delicious seeds fly all over the kitchen will find her trick of peeling the fruit underwater an absolute game changer. This is an inspiring resource for anyone looking to shake up their food routines.
