Priya Patel

Jersey City, NJ · she/her

Priya's cooking begins with whatever's in the pantry and, depending on the hour, ends somewhere entirely unexpected. A home cook of about fifteen years with an almost religious affection for pressure cookers, rice cookers, mortars and pestles, and any small single-purpose gadget most people dismiss until they own one. Gujarati roots, a Midwestern childhood, and a cooking style that has drifted in about a dozen directions since - which we consider, around here, a qualification.
