The New York Times is a source for discovering inspiring recipes, new restaurants and notable chefs and the daily news provider teamed up with three guest chefs to share NYT Cooking kits. Each one of the kits is devoted to a different kind of cuisine and shares a selection of non-perishable specialty ingredients, plus four chef-created recipes and other recipes from NYT Cooking.
While the NYT Cooking kit created by James Beard Award-winning chef Nina Compton brings Caribbean and Creole cuisine to life, another James Beard winner (Chintan Pandya) makes regional Indian meals easy with their kit. Rounding out the trio of cooking kits, the owner of Toiro Kitchen, Naoko Takei Moore, curated the essentials for hot pot cooking at home.
