Description

A vivid memoir of food and family, survival and triumph,Love, Loss, and What We Atetraces the arc of Padma Lakshmis unlikely path from an immigrant childhood to a complicated life in front of the cameraa tantalizing blend of Ruth Reichls Tender at the Bone and Nora Ephrons Heartburn

Long before Padma Lakshmi ever stepped onto a television set, she learned that how we eat is an extension of how we love, how we comfort, how we forge a sense of homeand how we taste the world as we navigate our way through it. Shuttling between continents as a child, she lived a life of dislocation that would become habit as an adult, never quite at home in the world. And yet, through all her travels, her favorite food remained the simple rice she first ate sitting on the cool floor of her grandmothers kitchen in South India.

Poignant and surprising,Love, Loss, and What We Ateis Lakshmis extraordinary account of her journey from that humble kitchen, ruled by ferocious and unforgettable women, to the judges table ofTop Chefand beyond. It chronicles the fierce devotion of the remarkable people who shaped her along the way, from her headstrong mother who flouted conservative Indian convention to make a life in New York, to her Brahmin grandfathera brilliant engineer with an irrepressible sweet toothto the man seemingly wrong for her in every way who proved to be her truest ally.A memoir rich with sensual prose and punctuated with evocative recipes, it is alive with the scents, tastes, and textures of a life that spans complex geographies both internal and external.

Love, Loss, and What We Ateis an intimate and unexpected story of food and familyboth the ones we are born to and the ones we createand their enduring legacies.
