Suvir Saran made history with Devi, the first Indian restaurant in North America to earn a Michelin star. One of the world’s first openly gay chefs—out since 20—he has shaped icons like Jolene, One 8 Commune, Neuma, Bastian, Qora, Murphy’s, The House of Celeste and Tapestry. A lifelong student of classical Indian music, he also paints, stitches, knits, prints, embroiders, and gardens. His memoir, Tell My Mother I Like Boys, spans pinnacles of success and depths of illness, exile and homecoming, offering readers an unflinching gift: the courage to break, heal, and begin again.
