It is a plant-based Indian inspired cookbook that goes beyond recipes to explore the emotional connections we have with food. The book is divided into nine emotions and each chapter has prompts to help connect with yourself or guests.
Food Is Love Plant Based Indian Inspired Recipes to Feel Joy and Connection and there are many stories around food and the love of food and the things that she's experienced but it made me just really think about food in my own life and so many connections around family but also just around friends and experiences that I've had with them so you are going to absolutely love this book and love hearing from Pollock as well.
It's not just recipes.
The entire book is broken out by nine emotions that I fundamentally go back to, whether it's I'm trying to cook something that's comforting, whether I'm making something that's indulgent, whether I'm doing something that's nostalgic and thinking about my mom or grandma.
So I broke out the cookbook in a series of emotions. And within each chapter, I just have these prompts and these prompts are really a nice way, whether it's to connect to yourself or to connect to your guests, people that you know or don't know or even teams, you know, I've done this with companies. And in those prompts, it gets you to learn about someone through a very fun and light food memory.
I think it's one of these unsung heroes of most kitchens. It's one of the most sustainable ingredients on the planet. Lentils come in so many forms and so many shapes and colors and varieties.
