On her popular blog, The Chutney Life, Patel aims to inspire people to try their hand at creating the sort of magical, globally inspired meals she makes everyday in her kitchen. Growing up in a South Asian family in America, Patel developed her deep love of cooking from her mom, who was always playing a game of “mix and match” in their family kitchen. She learned her mother’s ability to swap spices and ingredients across almost any dish. Whether it being adding garlic chutney to a quesadilla, a touch of mustard seed in an eggplant parmesan or even the tiniest pinch of garam masala in a traditional béchamel, The Chutney Life’s recipes celebrate the richness and diversity of food across all cultures.

This mom-of-two is no stranger to hectic schedules and having a limited amount of time to get food on the table. Her tips and tricks and recipes make her debut cookbook a must-have for anyone looking to explore the rich and diverse flavors of South Asian cuisine. Learn more here.
