I really loved this! I was probably not the ideal audience because I actually didn’t know who Padma Lakshmi as before this lol, I just saw it and loved the title.

It was a well written exploration of Padma’s upbringing, her foray into modeling and television, and her deep relationship with food. I really loved all the food descriptions throughout, and it’s fun that this book ended with recipes discussed in the text. I really want to make pickles now.
