Craveable: All I Want to Eat

“I think about food all day,” confesses SeemaGetsBaked blogger Pankhania in her adventurous and playful debut. Recipes pull from wide-ranging international influences and chapters are organized by craving: “Something Fresh” includes summery peach and halloumi tacos, while “Something Salty and Savory” features an indulgent grilled cheese with caramelized honey and za’atar. Nigerian-style scotch bonnet lentils with crispy salmon bring intense heat when “Something Spicy” will hit the spot. From the “Something Comforting” menu, there’s pickled jalapeño mac and cheese, while the “Something Special” selections include Pankhania’s viral butter chicken recipe. For when a sudden hankering arises, the “Something Now!” chapter includes “emergency dumpling soup” and cheesy gochujang tortellini, both of which promise to be ready in 10 minutes. Ideas for ingredient substitutions are provided throughout, including options for increasing or decreasing spice levels. Home cooks looking for flavor-packed and accessible meals will find this hits the spot. (July)
