Publishers Text

James Beard Award–winning chef Vishwesh Bhatt hails from the Indian state of Gujarat but has lived in Oxford, Mississippi, for more than two decades. As he immersed himself in the ingredients of the American South, he couldn’t help but notice the similarities to those he grew up with, including rice, peanuts, spices, tomatoes, and okra.

In his long-anticipated cookbook, Bhatt shares his worldly life story through 130 recipes that pay homage to traditional southern and Indian ingredients while exploring the unexpected delight of partnering the two. Recipes run the gamut from the simple - grilled okra, roast chicken, fried rice - to dinner party-worthy showstoppers, such as peanut masala-stuffed baby eggplant, steamed corn cakes, and Pork Indad. If he’s grilling a rack of ribs or frying catfish, it’s to have friends over to share.
