Explore the powerful connection between how you feel and what you eat in this inspired cookbook from acclaimed chef and Food Network champion Palak Patel.

Have you ever experienced tears of gratitude and joy after eating something Received a kiss from a dessert that left you breathless Tasted something so reminiscent that it brought you right back to a moment in time from your childhood

Food can nourish us physically, but cooking and eating are also ways of connecting with our loved ones, expressing our affection for others, caring for ourselves, and celebrating life. For chef Palak Patel, cooking is the ultimate act of love. Born and raised in India and trained at the French Culinary Institute, Palak is inspired by her heritage and global travels. In Food is Love, she invites us to take a journey through the emotional landscape of food with plant-based, Indian-inspired recipes organized by the feelings they evoke: from joy and comfort, to nostalgia and love.
