Cookbook Club: Heartland Masala
Let’s spice things up with a community potluck inspired by Heartland Masala: An Indian Cookbook from an American Kitchen by Jyoti Mukharji, Auyon Mukharji, and Olivier Kugler! Blending Indian flavors with an American kitchen sensibility, this cookbook offers dishes that are vibrant, approachable, and perfect for sharing.

Together, we’ll explore the rich tastes of Indian cooking and celebrate the joy of gathering over good food.
