Indian-ish, a book dinner with Priya Krishna
Meet food writer Priya Krishna. A regular contributor for The New York Times, Bon Appétit and The New Yorker…Priya is heading to frame as a loving tribute to her mother’s “Indian-ish” cooking, with a treasure-trove of spices, vegetables, one-of-a-kind Indian-American recipes and her newly released, very cool cookbook, Indian-ish: Recipes and Antics from a Modern American Family, named one of the best cookbooks of the spring by Eater, Food & Wine, and New York Magazine. The book … funny and relatable, is based on Priya’s mother’s adapted recipes from her home in India using American ingredients, while telling the story of her family through food. Her mother’s atypical substitution of feta for paneer and her father’s insistence on only eating homemade yogurt. Punctuated with candid portraits and original illustrations by acclaimed Desi pop artist Maria Qamar , Indian-ish is laden with pages of Indian-American hybrids that are wildly delicious, practical and clever. Think Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Green Pea Chutney and Malaysian Ramen. “I wanted to write a book and explicitly call it an American cookbook and have there be dal chawal, have there be dips, have there be pizza made with roti and noodles seasoned with turmeric and mustard seeds, and not present it as exotic or foreign or other, but just as the food that I grew up with,” Priya shares. Gather your peeps. And round up your family for an authentic delightful Indian dinner by Priya Krishna at our shared tables. Sundays at frame are amongst our favorites and we’re beyond looking forward to getting up close and personal with the Krishna family recipes and their many quirks, demystifying everything from ajwain to ghee to sabzi.
