PADMA'S ALL AMERICAN received a glowing review from Joseph Erbentraut for Taste of Home: “With her new cookbook, PADMA'S ALL AMERICAN, Padma has translated her own journey across seven years of filming the show into 300-plus pages of recipes and stories that help inspire home cooks to bring that spirit of curiosity and generosity into our own kitchens. The result is a sprawling, yet approachable collection of recipes that will find even the most hesitant of home cooks reaching for their aprons to recreate these dishes. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself dog-earring a dozen or more recipes on your first page-through...PADMA'S ALL AMERICAN is a cookbook I enthusiastically recommend for most home cooks. It is a cookbook that rewards your curiosity with recipes that strike a balance between ambitious and approachable, unexpected and recognizable.” The book was also named one of Amazon's Best Cookbooks of 2025. Knopf published PADMA’S ALL AMERICAN on November 4, 2025.
