My friend (and client), Suvir Saran, has begun his book tour for the debut of his second cookbook, American Masala, a collection of 125 recipes with Suvir's unique take on classics like mac 'n' cheese, meatloaf, vegetarian enchiladas, etcetera. The photography by Ben Fink is luscious—incredible.
Suvir was in Seattle yesterday, and is in San Francisco today. Tonight he will be appearing from 7:00-8:00 tonight at Books, Inc. at Opera Plaza. Here are the details.
Tomorrow he'll be in Los Angeles, and you can see the rest of his touring schedule here. Laguna Beach, Austin, Dallas, Chicago, and New York follow, concluding on October 18.
Then I hope he gets a nice long break at his farm, also called American Masala.
You can read more about the cookbook and get some recipes from his most recent newsletter. Yum!
Go, please, and see his photos of the chickens and alpacas and goats and llamas in this photo album.
That's all for today. Autumn is here to stay, I think: we had our first big rain last night, and the air has changed.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." —Thomas Alva Edison
Thanks for visiting.
P.S. If you use the Amazon link to buy the cookbook, you're helping buy "knife guys" (knight figurines) for Logan. And as he would say, "NANKS!"
This cookbook sounds great; I've just put it on hold at my local library!

This book looks intriguing.
His first cookbook, Indian Home Cooking, is a winner. I bought it a few years ago on the recommendation of one of the staff at the cookbooks only bookshop on 3rd Street in Los Angeles. I was a bit skeptical until I started cooking from it. Clear instructions, relatively simple preparations, a diversity of flavors (and some beautiful photos).
