lunch box at the top of our holiday wish list this year? After just celebrates the Indian contraption of layered compartments that help retain the flavors and integrity of a meal—traditionally consisting of rice, a vegetable masala, and stewed lentils. But Naik is catapulting this time-tested vessel with origins in British colonial rule into the current day with global reimaginings of the tasty meals that await inside. Each vegetable-filled chapter melds her heritage with an exploration of a different country and culture. So get ready for a trip around the world—Bangkok-inspired Street Noodles, Bucatini à la Pumpkin with Pink Peppercorn and Pistachio, and Mexican-fusion Green Chutney Quesadillas all await.
