"Nik Sharma's new cookbook Season is the story of an immigrant told through food. He brings his Indian influences to the American kitchen with an understanding of ingredients that reaches far beyond both continents. His mastery of flavour is seen in simple, powerful dishes like roasted carrots with sesame, chilli and nori; hot green chutney roasted chicken; or a date and tamarind loaf."
