Welcome to my Substack! I want this to be a place where I can speak directly with you, my reader, separate from social media or traditional publishing. To be honest, I’m not sure what this will look like yet.
Yes! Where can we get curry leaves (I live in Georgia) and what are those gorgeous, skin tight dresses that you wear, in your cooking IGTV videos? I need them in my life.
just bought an annual ticket on the latest PadmaTrain! Two quick qs: 1)what is the terrific pan in which you made Neela's Tomato Chutney on Insta yesterday? 2)While I love those Insta cooking demos, I'm desperate to duplicate but I NEED written recipes. Already have Tangy, etc. Will you publish recipes for Insta dishes on the Substack...or somewhere else readily accessible?
Congrats! Can’t wait to read this to my girls. Would love to have you on our home education/parenting podcast to discuss the book, the need for diverse books/why representation matters, food sovereignty, etc.
Sad that I can’t always comment on Substack anymore because I don’t subscribe. It’s just not in my budget. I love to hear/read your posts. Loved there recent one about Divinia!
Cannot wait for Season 2 of Taste the Nation.
I am a huge fan and always have been. Your IGTV cooking shows gave me LIFE during quarantine
If you ever need a dinner guest, super fan of top chef, assistant? I’m your girl.
Thank you for always using your voice to speak out about injustice! You are a woman that I a proud to call an inspiration and proud to have my daughter look up to.
Hi Padma, I love this and just wanted to say that I have such a need for this and I didn’t even know it! And how fitting it is that you should be the one who brings me to this realization. I’m excited to be here! Xx
Thank you so much for the support! I've been filming Top Chef and haven't had a chance to write as much as I'd like but I hope to at least leave little voicemails until I can write more. Let me know what kinds of things you want to hear about!
Hi Padma, I'm a reporter for Insider and I'm writing a piece about talent changes at CBS News that involve you... could you let me know who your publicist is? (201) 448-0894...Catkinson@insider.com.

Love that you are doing this 🙌
Enzo Costa has a bunch of tank dresses that I love. They're basically like one long t-shirt or tank top that you can toss in the washer.
I’ll definitely have to save up for an Enzo Costa dress. They are lovely
Thank you for being an authentic downtown professional and mother - I am 15 years older than you but you are a role model
Congrats on the launch, and good luck with the book!
Congrats, Padma! Always inspired by your work and can’t wait to feel at home reading your new book, Tomatoes for Neela ✨🥰
Thanks so much!! It was a joy to write. Representation matters! Especially in children's literature.

I’m so glad there’s a book I can read to my future daughter where the main character looks like her. Tam bram represent!
Love you on TC but admire you more for your civil rights activism. Congratulations on the next step in your journey!
Love you Padma! As a young Bosnian immigrant, a foodie and a daughter I am a big fan of yours and I can't wait to see what's in store!
We love you Padma!! Looking forward to reading 💕
Subscribed immediately! You’re my favorite voice out there speaking about all of the things I care about with compassion, power and competence.
