"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."

"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!"

"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 on CTV

And this book embodies Dev's philosophy of food: generating bold flavors and multiple textures in every bite."
