	Media	Author	Review
		Tejal Rao The New York Times	"What makes 'Taste the Nation' brilliant is that it refuses to be another shiny, happy, escapist series about food bringing everyone together."
		Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media	"The show does a lovely job portraying the humanity and individuality of immigrant life and how what we think of as 'American' cuisine has been shaped by the very different people (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Randall Colburn AV Club	"Lakshmi proves an amiable guide through the episodes (...) There’s nevertheless something vital about the show’s approach"
		Ashlie D. Stevens Salon	"It's a series that deftly breaks form from the traditional culinary travelogue again and again (...) Lakshmi has real presence here"
		Radhika Menon Decider	"Every episode of 'Taste the Nation' is an elegant infusion of the complex histories of our people and the state of our national culture today"
		Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"A delightful entry to the streaming platform [Hulu], bringing food and culture but also a genuine attempt to educate (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
