First Look: Suvir Saran's New Cookbook Masala Farm

Grid View

Here's Masala Farm, New York chef Suvir Saran's love letter to the upstate New York farm where he and his partner Charlie Burd (who co-authored, as did food writer Raquel Pelzel) raise chickens and goats and whatnot. The book — divided by seasons, of course, this is a farm cookbook we're talking about — presents recipes for updated American farmhouse cuisine, with the occasional Indian accent. (See: chai cider, chaat fries, New Year's black eyed pea curry.)

That said, those looking for a strong Indian flavor would do better to look at Saran's other books, Indian Home Cooking and American Masala; this cookbook largely consists of biscuits, seasonal jams, and the like. Masala Farm is out December 14 from Chronicle (preorder on Amazon).
