Padma Lakshmi’s New Hulu Series Set for 2020 Debut Is Described as a ‘Living Cookbook’

Get ready for another serving of Padma Lakshmi in your life! The Top Chef host, 48, has a new show coming to Hulu in 2020 and it’s intriguingly being described as “a living cookbook made up more from people and culture than recipes.”

According to a press release, the yet-to-be-titled series “embraces culinary traditions from the first Americans to the latest arrivals” and will feature the eight-time Emmy nominee‘s “perspectives and personal connection to each story.”

“Filmed around the country, each episode starts with a single dish that represents and connects to a community’s history and traditions, and explores the evolution of that immigrant community through that cuisine,” the press release continues.

There are meals in your life you will never forget. Meals you will tell your grandkids about. Last night was one of them. I had dinner with someone I’ve admired for a long long time. And she did not disappoint. Witty and whip smart, she had a twinkle in her eye the whole night. We sipped champagne, savored our gazpacho and crab and talked of India in the 80’s and so much more. A special thank you to the gracious and funny David Hagedorn and his husband Michael Widomski for an evening filled with love and laughter. #dinnerwithRBG #RBG

The series will feature everything from “family recipes and street food to high-end restaurants” with and “each dish explored is a symbol of a unique journey and story that provides viewers a window into where communities came from and the tale of how they set roots in America.”

“In the hands of different families and waves of immigration,” the press release concludes, “an organic evolution emerges between traditional recipes and new approaches, different perspectives and emotions, all captured through Padma’s eyes.”
