Padma Lakshmi is known internationally as an actress, food expert, model and award-winning writer. Padma Lakshmi established herself as a food expert early on in her career, having hosted two successful cooking shows and writing a best-selling cookbook. Padma Lakshmi follows this success with the publication of her second cookbook, "Tangy, Tart, Hot & Sweet," for release by Miramax Books in October 2007. A follow up to her successful book "Easy Exotic," for which Padma Lakshmi won the International Versailles Event for best cookbook by a first time writer, it will be a larger endeavor filled with over 120 recipes from around the world and intriguing personal memoirs.

For The Food Network, Padma Lakshmi hosted "Padma's Passport" where she cooked diverse cuisine from around the world.

On the big screen, Padma Lakshmi will be starring in Oscar-nominated director Deepa Mehta's ("Water") upcoming film, "Exclusion."

Padma Lakshmi was last seen with Aishwarya Rai and Dylan McDermott in Paul Mayeda Berges' newest film "Mistress of Spices." Padma Lakshmi received a positive response for her performance as Princess Bithia in ABC's much anticipated mini-series "The Ten Commandments" alongside Naveen Andrews ("Lost"), Omar Sharif and Dougray Scott. The program was the second-highest rated television film of 2006. Padma Lakshmi also recently starred in BBC America's "Sharpe's Challenge" opposite Sean Bean.
