Mad Flavor: Soul-Satisfying Recipes without Borders

Globetrotting chef Devan Rajkumar understands how food can make us feel at home even when we're far away - and in his second cookbook, he's bringing the world to your table.

From Guyanese-Canadian chef, media personality and author Devan Rajkumar, aka "Chef Dev," comes Mad Flavor, the highly anticipated follow-up to his bestselling cookbook, Mad Love. Inspired by his culinary journeys to over a dozen countries, this dynamic collection features more than 100 soul-satisfying recipes that reflect the universal language of a shared meal.

These are recipes inspired by dishes Dev has savored here, there and everywhere: Mango Sticky Rice in Bangkok; Chicken Karahi in Lahore; Jerk Oxtail in Jamaica; and Spinach and Paneer Momos prepared for a pop-up in Kathmandu. Adapted for the home kitchen, these street eats, restaurant-style favourites, and comfort foods use everyday ingredients and straightforward instructions to deliver Chef Dev's big, signature flavors.

Features:

• More than 100 globally inspired recipes, from Korean Fried Chicken to Guyanese Duck Curry to Basque Burnt Cheesecake
• Organized by how we crave and enjoy food: sections include "Crisp and Golden," "Warm and Slow," and "Spicy and Bold"
• Step-by-step guidance provided for foundational techniques, such as folding and pleating dumplings, helping to empower home cooks of every skill level
• Recipe symbols indicate dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free), quick-prep recipes, ways to intensify or soften a dish - and even an icon to signal when a recipe tastes even better the next day!
• "Build the Bite" feature helps readers to construct a lively and balanced plate
• A full Essentials chapter, packed with crispy topping, pickles, dressings, hot sauces and finishing oils to level up any meal

Mad Flavor invites readers to create memorable meals in a kitchen without borders. It's a celebration of flavor that proves no matter where a recipe originates from, great food always feels like home.
