Padma Lakshmi announced the cancellation of her acclaimed food documentary series, Taste the Nation, which explored diverse immigrant food cultures in the U.S. The show, which premiered in 2020 and was critically acclaimed with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, will be succeeded by a cookbook titled Padma's All American, publishing on November 4. This cookbook embodies Lakshmi's experiences from the show and features recipes and essays reflecting immigrant communities. Lakshmi expressed deep personal attachment to the show, emphasizing its importance in representing America’s multicultural identity.
Creating Taste the Nation has been the joy of my professional life. And all of that joy is in this book.
The biggest [reason] is Taste the Nation, which consumes me in the best way, intellectually, spiritually, creatively, and I just want to keep making it.
Padma's All American describes itself as 'a joyful book - a reflection of who we truly are as a nation, from one of our most essential culinarians.'
