Mad Love by Devan Rajkumar

"Chef Dev brilliantly combines flavors and techniques from across the globe into dishes that feel comfortingly familiar yet wildly exciting. Each recipe is a story you can’t wait to re-tell so you can watch the joy spread to others and invite them to join in the feast." —J. Kenji López-Alt, author of The Food Lab, The Wok, and Every Night is Pizza Night Award-winning Guyanese-Canadian chef Devan Rajkumar believes the world needs more love and is here to offer it—through food. Born in Toronto into a Guyanese household, Devan Rajkumar grew up surrounded by diverse communities and cuisines. After training in the hospitality industry and chasing new flavors around the world, he found himself reconnecting with his culinary roots. Now an established media personality, Chef Dev’s relaxed and modern approach to cooking is steeped in his Caribbean family heritage and his South Asian ancestry. With more than 100 inventive recipes that reimagine traditional East and West Indian dishes and challenge you to expand your palate, Mad Love celebrates bringing people and cultures together with cooking that comes from the heart. Featured recipes include: Fried Plantains with Cinnamon and Maple Syrup and Spiced Cauliflower Nachos, made for sharing. A classic: Guyanese Pepperpot served with a side of homemade Plait Bread. Saffron Kheer and Garam Masala-Spiced Pecan Pie — delicious finales to a memorable meal.

"Chef Dev takes you on a journey of bold flavor – a feast for all your senses."
—Chintan Pandya, James Beard award–winning chef, Dhamaka, NYC

"It’s always a pleasure to dip into Chef Dev’s recipes. He can single-handedly turn my least-loved West Indian dishes into my most adored (hello, okra!). Following Chef on his journey to uncover and reacquaint himself with his roots has been a lesson in flavor, culture, and ancestry—but mostly love. I can’t wait to see what he serves up next."
—Tracy Moore, host of Cityline

"From the moment Chef Dev walked into my kitchen, I saw an instant star. From his passion for food to his tremendous skillset to his charismatic personality, I knew he was destined for greatness. And this book embodies Dev’s philosophy of food: generating bold flavors and multiple textures in every bite."
—Adrian Niman, executive chef, Food Dudes

"This cookbook reflects Dev’s passion for food, his authentic personality, and his talent for bringing together the diverse flavors of his heritage in a fresh and unique way. This fella can cook!"
—Ron McKinlay, executive chef, Canoe
