Adorable! I will be taping it! I feel like we’re dear old friends already
August 18th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Yay! I just saw it on TV this morning and am so excited! Can’t wait to watch it. How fun this must be to be starting your own show. That’s something I’ve dreamed of since I was little and watched Jaque Pepin on PBS.
Congrats!

Didn’t realize it was coming so soon!!! Soooo excited for the Indian food. We come from an Indian background (Bangladesh) and my mom and sister can’t wait to make your dishes! <3 Congrats Aarti!!

Your promo is awesome-everyone will want to be cooking with indian spices now!! I will be rating your messaged kale 5 stars since I’ve already tried it!! Good luck!!
August 18th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Awesome! Can’t wait to watch!!
August 18th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
I have become a huge fan of yours since watching you on The Food Network Challenge. I feel goofy saying this but I wana be your best friend hahaha!!! Such a great character and spirit. It’s magnetic and wonderful.
You inspire me to be me, because you stayed true to you – even in hard times of doubt. So SO proud of your accomplishments and loved knowing you had a vision prior by creating your variety show on youtube – brilliant. And see – it was all for something bigger. I do hope the show allows you to play your ukelele
It is what makes you : you. I look forward to your show and am SOOOO happy to finally see a cool ass Indian girlie gain her place on a powerhouse channel like The Food Network!
Your new and appreciative fan,
Anita
August 18th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Congrats, Aarti!
But when I saw the promo on TV, it said “Aarti Party” instead of “Aarti Paarti.” What’s up with that?
August 18th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Yeah! Yum! Can’t wait to tune in!
August 18th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Congratulations, Aarti! Your promo looks amazing!
Our family will be DVRing! I’m so looking forward to learning from you; the only Indian recipe I’ve ever made is Beef Curry. Got the recipe from a friend in Ireland, so we call it Irish-Indian Beef Curry.
We were pulling for you from the first episode and are so delighted that you wonQ@
August 18th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Yes, yes, YES! I cannot wait to watch your show! Congratulations, again!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Looks like fun! I am so glad you won because I really felt like I would learn the most from you. Plus, it will be a joy to do so. Congratulations!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Hooray! I’m so excited for you and your show, Aarti! My sisters and I have been rooting for you since the beginning and we cannot wait to try to make some yummy Indian dishes
August 18th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Very excited for you…and my taste buds! I can’t wait to try my hand at some new food flavors!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I got goosebumps! I’m so excited!!!! Woohoo!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Thanks for link; I missed the promo today. You are adorable! My 10 year old twins (watching FoodTV with my visiting mother in law) saw the tease this morning for the Indian style Sloppy Joes and came running over to tell me that I must watch and learn! lol I’ve set the DVR to ‘series record’ already!
Now what about that comment Flay (and Cora) made about opening up a restaurant with you? What a compliment! Not to get really personal, but do you have to relocate to the East coast? Continued success!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
How exciting! I’m so happy for you, and looking forward to seeing the show!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
I CANNOT wait to see it! You have such a great and natural delivery!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Cannot wait!! We’re ready to start cooking!

August 18th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Way cool. I have two small children but will try hard to watch it. If not, I’ll have to find out when it will be on again or if it will be online after the show.
: )
p.s. I recently made mulligatawany, which from what I understand is an indian soup. sooooo goooood. It’s on my blog.

August 18th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
SO EXCITED for you (and me!!). OK, and I don’t like to say I told you . . . BUT, I knew from the FIRST show you were going to take this! You are wonderful and, I feel comfortable saying, you have a whole slew of competitors/new colleagues and I hope you will invite some on your show–you were a great crew to watch together. CONGRATS!
August 18th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
the promo looks great. can’t wait to see the show. had so much fun watching next food network star.
August 18th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
How awesome, I can’t wait to see it. And try your recipes. Your set looks beautiful. Good luck with the new show.
August 18th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Aarti you inspire me!! Congratulations, we can’t wait to start watching your show!!
August 18th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
SO EXCITED! I can’t wait to watch

I’ve always loved Indian food and look forward to learning more about it through your show. You have a terrific demeanor and presence in front of the camera.
Best wishes,

August 18th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
My family was rooting for you from the start! We’ve been waiting for a chef on Food Network with Indian food as their specialty! You totally deserve the victory! Can’t wait to try your recipes!!! Best wishes!
August 18th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
Ok, so I admit I usually sleep in until at least noon on Sundays, but I’m going to make sure I’m up at 11 (I’m central time) for the show. I can’t wait for the recipes— and to see more of your set kitchen! So far, I love it! Random question: are the clothes you wear in each episode your own? You’ve fabulous style.
August 18th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Sending you heaps of congrats from a sunny Bahamas!!! I was rooting for you from day 1 and soooo wanted to taste your food. You are super!!! All the best Aarti and looking forward to watching your show debut on Sunday! – Tanya, Nassau, Bahamas

Smiles and chills – so excited for you and I can’t wait to watch your show. I have so much to learn!
August 18th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
So happy that you won! My husband and I had our fingers crossed! We are bummed NFNS is over but excited we get to see your new show. I love your style by the way… I’m inspired to get a nose ring;)
August 18th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
I absolutely am overjoyed that you won Mrs. Aarti!!!! I’ve been a big fan from day ONE!!!! Not only does your food look amazing, but you are a SISTER IN CHRIST!!!! Watching you give the first fruits of your day to spending time with Abba was such an encouragement for me! I just knew in my Spirit that you would win!!! Girl, don’t change PLEASE!!!! I am going through one of the hardest times of my life, but watching you cling to Jesus has really inspired me to keep seeking after my fathers heart. AND, you’ve really inspired me to keep cooking! I don’t know you, but I love you and am praying for you!! Keep doing it! God BLESS you!!!
August 18th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
My hubby and I can’t wait!! You were our favorite from the start and we can’t wait to learn some Indian cuisine.
August 18th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
My mom & I saw you on the first episode of Next Food Network Star, and rooted for you religiously every week…we were thrilled not only to see you win, but to see your promo on Food Network! I can’t wait for your show! I’m especially excited because my parents are from India, but I was born in America, so I really relate to your point of view of infusing Indian flavors into everyday meals…adding East to West, just like me! Haha.
Congratulations on your win, can’t wait to see what you have in store for Food Network (and my kitchen), and good luck!!!
August 18th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! I WATCH YOUR SHOW ON YOUTUBE AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL INCORPORATE YOUR HUSBAND AND THOSE WONDERFUL SKITS!!!!! I AM ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST SUPPORTERS!!!! I KNEW YOU WOULD WIN…I WAS CHEERING FOR YOU THE ENTIRE TIME. GOD FAVORS YOU!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I’LL BE WATCHING!
August 18th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Talk about darling! you – your clothes – the set – fantastic! I feel good about this!
August 18th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Aarti, I am soo happy that you won! I can now cook Indian dishes thanks to you! Brava!!! Cheers!!! You Rock!!!! You deserve it – enjoy your success. Marc
August 18th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
Happy Birthday Aarti!! We are thinking of you all the time and we’re so excited for you. I hope you receive the package we sent you.
August 18th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
So happy for you, Aarti! After seeing you on the show and reading your blog here, I’m really excited to see your fresh take on food! I can’t wait to incorporate some Indian flair into my cooking.
Good luck and God bless!
August 18th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Yes, the graphics on your FN page is really cool. Love your kitchen in the show. Can’t wait for Sunday. You look like a pro already – love your energy. I see a rising Aarti, Rachael Ray style
Good luck dear!
August 18th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Congratulations Aarti!!
You were wonderful right from the start of the show.
Started watching your episodes that you created,
I loved the very first one you did, in other words
you had what it takes even with that first video you
did!
All the best and look forward to watching your
shows.
Kari
August 18th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Aarti! I’ll watch your show while I’m eating lunch on Sunday! Whee right before Hot Yoga! Love you girl! I know I’m going to finally find the nerve to cook some Indian food!
August 18th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Loved the promo, and can’t wait to watch your new show. I’m sure it will be fabulous!
August 18th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Aarti, I am sooo happy you won!! (: My mom and i have watched The Next Food Network Star every season it has been on and we both agreed that you were our favorite contestant that has ever been on the show!! We predicted you would win right from the start
. As an aspiring chef, i was very inspired by your level of passion and love for the food that you created. Even the way you just talked and exspressed yourself on camera just made us adore you even more!! You really seem like someone who would be amazing to hang out with!! Good luck on your show!! I already TiVo’d it(:
August 18th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
*SQUEAL* This promo looks great!!!
Aarti, I can’t wait for your show. I think it’s time to take the leap into making some Indian-inspired dishes. Show me the way!
August 18th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
That’s so exciting! I’ll be recording it, and I can’t wait! Did you notice the banner on your Food Network Show page reads “Aarti Party”? I was always under the impression it was Aarti Paarti… But no worries! I’m super ready to watch a whole 30 minute show of you!
August 18th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
Congratulations on the new show! You definitely deserved it.
I know I’m just one of many, many voices out there but I really think you’re doing a wonderful job. You’re so friendly and upbeat, it cheered all of us up to watch you.
I’m excited to see your upcoming recipes!
Have fun and thank you for all your hard work.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
The rest of my life will officially be spent urging my mom (or mum, as you so sweetly say) to make just ONE of the recipes you(‘ll) introduce on your show hahah
. I got really into NFNS, but throughout the show I felt like having someone from Asia who actually USES those flavors in their food would be a great addition to the Food Network. I usually only watch the competitions that deal with food- I guess all that’s about to change with AARTI PAARTYYYYY!
–Work hard, have the time of your life, and NEVER lose your genuine perosnality.
August 18th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Congrats Aarti!! Can’t wait to watch your show…The First Indian Show on FN!
August 18th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
So amazing that you have you’re own show! I can’t believe it!!! =D
I rooted for you in the beginning! And hope that you stay in the Food Network for a very long time!!!
Congrats to your success!!!! (=
-Tomy
August 18th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Aarti! You’re wonderful. I can’t wait for your show to start. I ate Indian food for the first time this summer and loved it; after watching you on Next Food Network Star, I want to start cooking it myself.
August 18th, 2010 at 11:26 pm
Yay I’m so glad you won Aarti! I was totally rooting for you! I’m actually watching the finale again right now! Congratulations!!!
August 19th, 2010 at 12:12 am
Aarti I am so excited that you won! Food Network has needed a good Indian show for the longest time! All along I was hoping you would win. As someone also from the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh) I am beyond thrilled that you will be bringing our cuisine to the mainstream. I will definitely be watching your show and can’t wait to learn new twists to the desi food I love! Congratulations!! I wish you nothing but the best!
August 19th, 2010 at 1:09 am
congratulations aarti – I just tonight caught the finale and you were great…good luck with the new show, I’ll be rooting for you! also, go northwestern!
August 19th, 2010 at 1:52 am
I am so excited for you!
God bless you in your new opportunities. My husband and I were SO happy when you won!
August 19th, 2010 at 2:18 am
Awesome!
August 19th, 2010 at 2:38 am
Aarti, you deserve to have this show – it’s truly what you were made to do. You’re an absolute natural, and I actually yelled “YES!” at the tv when you were declared the winner.
Sending my regards to a wonderful chef,
-Joc
August 19th, 2010 at 5:14 am
So excited for you Aarti! Not sure whether I will get to see it so soon in Canada but will look out for it. Go you for demystifying Indina food for the masses!
August 19th, 2010 at 5:19 am
Can’t wait! I am so happy you won! I think they are having a hard time deciding if your show will be spelled Aarti Paarti, or Aarti Party lol
August 19th, 2010 at 5:24 am
Love it!! I can’t wait to watch
So are you and your hubby moving to NY?
August 19th, 2010 at 5:25 am
What’s amazing is that evidently (you wore a quite a few outfits on the promo), you’ve taped quite a few episodes already! I’m assuming that after you won (way before we saw it…but heck, we KNEW you did), the taping started soon afterward. By the time last Sunday came along, you had many “in the can”.
I’m so doggone proud of you! You are such a natural. Will you be playing your ukelele (sp) and singing on any of your episodes? Adorable!
August 19th, 2010 at 5:57 am
I love your promo and will definitely be watching your show! You are so sweet and your show will rock. Congrats on winning Star!!
August 19th, 2010 at 6:00 am
Your Promo looks great can’t wait to watch! I’m so happy for you! You are surely a STAR. Is your show going to be on during the week?
August 19th, 2010 at 6:01 am
Very cool and so exciting for you! We’ll be recording it and watch it sometime Sunday after church.
August 19th, 2010 at 6:46 am
Wow! I was so rooting for you. Had been to India for vacation and hence couldnt catch the finale.. Congratulations!!!!
August 19th, 2010 at 7:33 am
Did you get to help plan and decorate your set?
August 19th, 2010 at 7:59 am
I am so excited! Time to set the DVR for a series recording. I can’t wait to learn so many more of your fabulous recipes. I’m hosting a tea party in my urban garden in a few weeks, so I can’t wait to serve some of your delicious food! Curious to know if you have ever cooked with tea?
August 19th, 2010 at 8:10 am
I hear you’re making kulfi pops on Sunday?
yayyyy!!! 
Can’t wait. DVR’d you this morning, just in case. 
August 19th, 2010 at 8:18 am
I love Indian food and am an avid homecook but have never ventured into cooking it because I’m so intimidated, and I have the feeling your show will change all that! Can’t wait to watch it – congratulations!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:22 am
Hi Aarti!! I’ve been rooting for you since I started watching the Next Food Network Star 2010 show and I was jumping up and down and screaming when you won.
Finally, now I can learn to infuse my ethnic heritage into everyday cooking!! Lots of peace and blessings to you and best of luck in all of your endeavors! 
It’s soo nice to see a fellow South Asian on Food Network. 
August 19th, 2010 at 8:27 am
Congratulations on winning! I’m so excited to watch your show–you’re so informative, such fun to watch, and your recipes look so good. I can’t wait to try them! I just found your blog and youtube channel this morning, and have been watching some of those to get me even more pumped up about Sunday’s premiere.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:34 am
Awesome… can’t wait to watch it!! Goodluck
August 19th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Yeah! Me, my 7 yr old and 4 yr old girls have the dvr set!!!!!

I love your youtube quick bites and I am sooo happy for you that you got Food Network Star. You’re so cute!! Love your flowers in the hair and your accent. You’ll do great, look forward to watching you on your show.
August 19th, 2010 at 9:50 am
11 central!! Booo. NOT a good time for me. I’ll still be at church–I was so enthusiastic about seeing your show. I hope to catch it from time to time.
August 19th, 2010 at 10:01 am
Happy Birthday Aarti!! We are thinking of you all the time and we’re so excited for you. It’s so amazing how our Father blesses us above and beyond what we ask. What a blessed promise – when we honor Him, He honors us. We sent you a package some time ago. I am not sure you’ll be home soon enough to pick it up, if not they’ll return it to us. We just want you to know how much we appreciate you. I hope you have the best birthday ever!!
August 19th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Im so happy for you!!!! … but off the subject, where in the world do you get your hair accessories???? I LOVE THEM!!!
August 19th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Many Many happy Returns of the day, Aarti ! May you always keep smiling. I just wanted to tell you how your win has given hope to us desis. If you can do it with grit and determination, so can the rest of us.
Love and hugs
August 19th, 2010 at 10:52 am
I’m glad it isn’t early in the morning, I’d hate to oversleep and miss it! I’m so excited to see the first episode. ^_^
August 19th, 2010 at 10:58 am
Yay! can’t wait to watch you on Sunday :>)
August 19th, 2010 at 11:25 am
I saw the commercial and called my parents in! We were so excited and best of luck on your first show, Aarti!
August 19th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Aartiiiiiii!! I rooted for you from day 1 of the Next Food Network Star! Can you believe you cooked for iron chefs and they loved it? I’m so proud of you! You ROCK!! Can’t wait to learn more about Indian food. It’s about time Food Network figured out how popular Indian flavors are and the need for YOU! Got the cardamom and garam masala ready and waiting! Let the demystifying begin. ;-}
August 19th, 2010 at 11:40 am
Love it! Can’t wait to see the first episode!
August 19th, 2010 at 11:57 am
love it!! can’t wait to watch – we’ll be at church, but don’t you worry – the tivo is set!

August 19th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Terrific— FN already has the recipes up for the premier.
Love the promo.
As an aside -the clothing on your promo’s are lovely!
Looking forward to Sunday……….
August 19th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
Hurray, Aarti! I cannot tell you how excited I am for the start of your show! I must share with you that I’ve already prepared two of your recipes – the green curry chicken and the quinoa pilaf. They are both amazing!!! My hubby and I were rooting for you from the start. And I let out a little scream when you won. I already have your show scheduled on my DVR and already printed out the first recipe I shall try (it sounds sooooooooo good).
xoxo Theresa
Congratulations again…Food Network really got it right!!!
August 19th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
CONGRATULATIONS! I just knew you would win from the start, and I can’t wait to learn from cooking along with your new show.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
Hey look at you and your fancy time slot! Weren’t previous winners relegated to 3 am or something horrible like that? I still haven’t seen Melissa D’Arabian’s show because it’s never on when I’m awake.
But yay for you! We’ll definitely be watching!!! Perhaps you can do a chicken saag recipe. My husband (the wannabe chef of the house) has tried making it several times and every time he does he throws it all away before he lets me try it.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
I will be watching. My friend is staying with and was to go home tomorrow but now will be here until Monday just to watch your show.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Just popping in to say that I am SO EXCITED for your new show! I never watch Food Network Star but my friend got me into it, and we were (rather heatedly) rooting for you the entire time. Congratulations! It’s good to see Food Network branch out beyond Italian/French/American cuisine for once.
August 19th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
yay CONGRATULATIONS! I’m def going to watch your show!
August 19th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Oh btw, I made your baked samosa (subbed green lentils for the chicken instead) and your mint chutney. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!
August 19th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Fabulous! I can’t wait to see it!
August 19th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Aarti,
I am so proud of you! I rooted for you the whole way through (and love your blog!).
I too struggle with self confidence from time to time and I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that you deserve this and you are awesome!
Thanks for being an inspiration!
Marilyn
August 19th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
I can’t wait to see your show. I was looking at your foodnetwork page and saw what dishes you have planned for the first it all sounds so good. I just can’t wait to learn about indian spices from you.
August 19th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Great promo! Colorful, exciting, engaging, just perfect! Looking forward to it! Oh, and would love tips on making Naan at home.
Have fun!
Miri
August 19th, 2010 at 3:13 pm

August 19th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
I can’t wait to see it!
August 19th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
The promo turned out great, Aarti! I’ve been watching, reading and finger-crossing for you the whole season, and am so glad you are getting this show! Congratulations to you! I’m looking forward to learning the basics behind Indian cooking, as we have a TON of Indian friends here in Seattle and I would love to be able to cook some classics and new twist dishses for them!
August 19th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
and here is one more! congrats! I am finally making the Green chicken curry tonight, my house smells divine and I just took a little taste yum! Can’t wait to see the show!
August 19th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
I’m setting the DVR. I am so excited for you!
August 19th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I’m setting the DVR! I went to the local Indian Grocer and bought some fenugreek and coliander. I’m still not certain what to do with these new spices but I’m excited to learn!
August 19th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Hurrah! I was rooting for you, Aarti. Food Network Canada is one or two episodes behind, but I’m glad I peeked. Bravo and best wishes for a long and happy life at Food Network!

I am SO excited for your new show! I already have my DVR set so that I won’t miss an episode. I was also rooting for you the whole season!
August 19th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
U deserved this! Can’t wait to see u on TV!
August 19th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
You make me so happy!!! Yay!!!
August 19th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
so happy for you!!! Let the cooking lessons begin!!! YUM!!!!
August 19th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
My husband and I can’t wait. Hope you prepare some of the same dishes that you made on the show!
August 19th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Aarti, I am so happy for you!! I too picked you from day one and my belief in you never wavered. You are beautiful, warm, friendly & accessible. You are someone people would want to be friends with or feel lucky to know. I can visualize books, spices, sauces, chutneys… so much from you in the future. Oh yeah, your food looks fabulous too. I already have you set up to record on my dvr and I’m spreading the word. I know you only from tv and I have all the faith in the world in you and your potential. You really do rock! Best wishes to you and your family. The Food Network is lucky to have you.
August 19th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
I am soooo glad you won, I was rooting for you all along. I am super excited to learn more about Indian food, I love it.
I’ll be camping when your show premiers! Oh no! I will have to tape it. Tell food network your show will rock and that millions of people will watch it!
August 19th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Sunday it is…. Yippyyy
Congrats, Wishing you lots and lots of Luck.

Happy Birthday Aarti!! We are thinking of you all the time and we’re so excited for you. It’s so amazing how our Father blesses us above and beyond what we ask. What a blessed promise – when we honor Him, He honors us. We sent you a package, I am not sure when you’ll be home though – I hope you’re able to pick it up before it’s returned back to us. We just want you to know how much we appreciate you. Hope you have the best birthday ever!!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
My bf and I already have you DVR’d.
So excited, congrats!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
congratulations, Aarti! Can’t wait to see your show! Great job winning the next Food Network Star!
August 19th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
I can’t watch your show live on Sunday, but I’m going to DVR it!
The Food Network really got it right this time. You are going to be a megastar.
August 19th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
I am going to follow EVERY episode of your new show! I’ve started to collect your recipes on your youtube channel and on Food Network Star. You are my inspiration to try dished I never imagined I could prepare. I LOVE YA!
August 19th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Aarti, you light up the screen! Congratulations on your new show! I can’t wait to see it this coming weekend
I’m really looking forward to expanding my Indian horizons!
August 20th, 2010 at 4:37 am
Just noticed….FN finally spelled “Paarti” correctly! YAY! Isn’t it amazing? You had your production ideas, show title, and POV already in place and all FN had to do was pick it up and continue your aartipaarti.com show!
August 20th, 2010 at 4:41 am
Happy Birthday Aarti!! We are thinking of you all the time and we’re so excited for you. It’s so amazing how our Fthather blesses us above and beyond what we ask.

August 20th, 2010 at 5:49 am
You look beautiful and poised. Like talking with a friend. Wonderful work Aarti!
August 20th, 2010 at 6:26 am
Love the set!
Can’t wait to learn more from you.
Best wishes!
August 20th, 2010 at 6:54 am
Was a fan of yours from the very beginning! I am so excited you are bringing Indian spices to the Food Network! My husband surprised me with your Baked Samosas for dinner last night! Delicious! I love the mango, cilantro twist! You are fantastic, adorable and I am so excited for your show!
Congrats!
August 20th, 2010 at 7:35 am
WooHoo! So proud of you, desi sistah! Indian food ROCKS! Thanks for bringing it to Food Network.
p.s. Best of luck with the show and enjoy every moment!
August 20th, 2010 at 7:44 am
Aarti, your promo is beautiful…the Food Network did you justice. I cannot wait to see your first show on Sunday. I know you will rock it!

August 20th, 2010 at 7:45 am
So excited, Aarti! Here I am over at my blog waxing poetic about you, your food, and how we should be friends.
God Bless!
August 20th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Oh. Here’s the link to my blog: http://meetladyjustice.blogspot.com/

August 20th, 2010 at 9:01 am
I am so excited for your show! I love your recipes and I was so happy when you won because I have been dying for more recipes! I am a self taught cook on a college budget, and I just really appreciate your style! I love learning to cook with indian spices, thank you so much! See you on Sunday at 12!
August 20th, 2010 at 9:54 am
I’m so glad you won!
Stay Sweet!
(and please don’t lose touch with us …. maybe once in a while write in here (please))
Lots of Love!
August 20th, 2010 at 10:41 am
I just wanted to say that I watched you on the foodnetwork star and I thought you were amazing! I cant wait for your show to come out. I loved that you stayed true to yourself. I feel I am sooo much like you, really hard on myself and I don’t believe in myself enough but you make me feel like anything is possible. Thank you and Congratulations!
August 20th, 2010 at 10:55 am
I’ve watched all three seasons of Aarti Paarti and feel like I know you and Bren and all your great friends!!! I almost cried watching this!!! Please try to keep the same format of your show- with hilarious skits and musical interludes- I’ll be watching eagerly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 20th, 2010 at 11:17 am
Looking forward to watching it!
August 20th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
I’m super excited! Congrats
August 20th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
YAY Aarti! My girlfriend and I knew you were gonna win from the very beginning! Congrats and we can’t wait to watch your new show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 20th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Hmmm…what is up with the Party instead of the Paarti…
I am looking forward to seeing the show and how I might try to add the Indian flavors to my cooking. I hope you will bring your family into the show; love to see how you learned to cook.
August 20th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Cant Wait!!!!!
August 20th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
I love your set. Really nice!!
August 20th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Congratulations, Aarti – so glad you won and so excited to try your recipes! I love Indian food, but have had mostly disappointing results trying to cook it myself, so I am looking forward to trying your Indian food with a twist!
August 20th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
Hi, Aarti,
I’ve watched you through the whole series of NFNS and rooted for you all the way, but I didn’t know that you had a blog until a few days ago, when I found it mentioned on foodtv.com.
I just want to tell you how happy I am for you, and how excited I am to see your show and try out your recipes! You had a lot of really great competition on the show, but you truly earned the win. Many congratulations, and my best wishes for your new life!
Martha
August 20th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Congrats on the win! I really hope that they eventually let you progress to doing a humorous/variety-type cooking show like your youtube channel was! I miss those entertaining and unexpected segments!
August 20th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Aarti!! You are the best thing to happen to Aarti & other “Artie’s” alike! With a name and sense of pride for one’s culture (I’m 100% Greek!) like mine, I was rooting for you to take it home. It’s been my dream to be on the Food Network and living vicariously through you these past weeks on the Food Network Star have been my guilty pleasure. In Elementary School my nickname was “Artie Party” and to see that there is a show with a similar title it makes me both envious I’m not the first Artie with such a show title but so proud of you for making your dreams come true. I hope to one day share my passion of cooking with the world just like you; until then, I will be a loyal follower of your work and blog to-boot!! Cheers to you Aarti and I can’t wait for the first episode!!

August 20th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
My daughter and I watched TNFNS together. I’m convinced watching so much food tv will teach her to cook
(she’s 5 and it’s actually a great way to get her to try new things – she watches it, then wants to cook it with me!). Anyway, she’s been so excited you won and every single day has asked “When is Aarti Party on?” Hee. Can’t wait to see the show 
August 20th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
You go girl!! Have been following you on next food network star and cannot wait to see your show on sunday!!!!!!

Aarti, love the promo great colors on the set. I’m so glad you won hubby and I cheering for you all of the way. Your so cute and bubbly and the food looks fab. Can’t wait until Sunday. Lisa in Delaware
August 20th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Go Aarti! Food Network has needed you for a long time. I hope you get to infuse some of the great, endearing, funny bits from your YouTube cooking show into your new show! Best of luck.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Aarti!
First and foremost CONGRATULATIONS missy! So exciting!
I do not know if you remember, but a few weeks ago when the NFNS was running, my mother and I randomly strolled into the school where you work and ran into YOU! My mom freaked out and we both could not believe it was actually you! You did not give any hints as to the ending of your show (as you were told not to), but told us to keep watching! Well we did and rooted for YOU alllll the way! Congratulations to a famous woman! You deserve the best Aarti! It was such an honor to meet you!

Why is it not Aarti Paarti? I liked that more.
August 20th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Aarti- Congratulations! I’m a huge fan!
Can’t wait to watch your show. Hope to see some veggie dishes
August 21st, 2010 at 12:43 am
Congratulations! Love your energy. Here’s a question: Will all your meals be GF? I have celiac disease and would love to know if your show will be all GF. I’ll pass on the word to my fellow support group in Phoenix as well.
August 21st, 2010 at 5:49 am
As a Brit living in America, I miss good Indian food. I can’t wait for your show!
August 21st, 2010 at 8:00 am
Congrats, the promo looks fantastic! I’m new to your blog and can’t wait to start trying some recipes. I love Indian food, grew up eating it everyday, but alas, am intimidated and time-starved, so your POV is great! Can’t wait to see the show tomorrow!
August 21st, 2010 at 8:45 am
I can’t wait to watch, I love indian food and i’ve recently started trying to incorporate it into my cooking, your show seems PERFECT! Also I was totally rooting for you on the NFS!
August 21st, 2010 at 9:39 am
Soooooooooooooooooooo excited that you won and looking forward to trying your delicious recipes. I just saw one of your videos on Vimeo for the coconut quinoa that looks scrumptious too. I’ve been buying frozen dosas but would like to learn to make them myself. Hopefully you’ll have lots of gluten free recipes too.
August 21st, 2010 at 10:36 am
Congrats! I can’t wait to watch your new show and to learn more about Indian cooking. As a food blogger myself, you have inspired me and proven that blogging can blossom into an amazing career.
August 21st, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Congratulations! I knew you had this in the bag from episode 1. You are an inspiration and I can’t wait for your show…but they put it on when I am in church, so I will have to wait for a repeat. By the way, If you want to learn about okra, let me know. I grew up in Oklahoma and now live in New Orleans. Been eating and loving it all my life.
August 21st, 2010 at 9:02 pm
I love listening to you talk! So excited about watching your show!
August 22nd, 2010 at 5:29 am
I am a big fan of Food Network and have watch all the Food Network Stars. This is the second time that I have been disappointed with who they picked. I will watch the first show but will not be watching after that. I wish you well in this new journey but I will not be coming with you.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:48 am
Aarti: This was our first NFNS show and we are so glad it was YOURS! We watched from the beginning and were so pleased you won. I love to cook but have never tried Indian inspired food. I can’t wait to see how these dishes turn out in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing your gift. I’m ready for your show now
GOOD LUCK and THANKS!
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:44 am
Where can I find the recipe for the Bombay Sloppy Joes?
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:02 am
Congratulations on your new show. We just watched the first episode. It was great. Since we are not Indian, we have a hard time understanding what you are saying with some of the names you use for the dishes. Please add along the bottom of the screen the name of what you are saying. That would be so helpful! Good luck with your future shows and again Congratulations!
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:20 am
Just watched your show — you were GREAT!! I am going out now to get the ingredients to make your dishes. CONGRATULATIONS and keep up the good work.
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:48 am
AARTI.
Awesome show. We learned so much watching you .
We want to create or purchase an Indian spice box like you have. Please let us know where we can it or please talk about it again on your next show. So – we can build our own. I love indian food and have always been afraid of the spices. Now I feel somewhat confident. Can’t wait until show 2!!! CONGRATS> K
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:50 am
Hi Aarti,
Just saw your first show. It’s hard to think you ever lacked confidence – you sparkled! I think you’ll be instrumental in popularizing Indian styles of cooking in the US – a great thing – Indian food is amazing and delicious!
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:45 am
My husband and I both just watched your first show and were so amazed by your confidence! You sparkled girlfriend, and we’re both so excited to try the dishes you presented. We’re having our very own Aarti Paarti this week
Can’t wait for the next show!
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:46 am
Oh No – my DVR failed me and I missed the first show. I am so bummed. Will you have on your blog or your FN page?
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:58 am
Great show! I can’t wait to try the recipes…especially the Kale and Mango salad! You were wonderful and your choice of recipes for the show was terrific. I look forward to many, many more episodes of Aarti Party!!
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:58 am
Congratulations to us all. We are all winners since you won. LOVE your show. LOVE your recipes. What a delight. I will buy your cook book. When will it be coming out?
Big fan of yours and your cooking and your cute laugh.
Thanks for shining your light.

August 22nd, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Aarti!
Superb show!!! Everything looks amazing. My husband and I are so excited for new shows to come. I think I will be making the Kulfi (sp?) pops tonight. NOM! Thanks for sharing your tips.
Aarti Party FTW!!!!!!
(Do you have a good Dal recipe you can share or will be sharing?)
August 22nd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
Congratulations Aarti! My granddaughter and I watched every minute of you on the Food Network, and we are excited to be able to see you every week, or more! Can’t wait to try all your recipes!
Thanks again,
Susan
August 22nd, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Aartie, you were awesome today.
August 22nd, 2010 at 2:34 pm
We DVR’d the show and came home and watched it after church. It was awesome. In fact as I watched you make the mango salad Aarti, I stopped the show and said….”I can take that for Small Group tonight” and ran to the store to grab the ingredients. I made it and oh man is that good salad…can’t wait for others to taste it tonight. My 18 yo wouldn’t let me take it all, she had to have a bowl for herself. PTL. You are enjoyable to watch and we are looking forward to your first cookbook!
August 22nd, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I saw your show, and it was awesome! Great job Aarti!
August 22nd, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I think you lied to us, Aarti. You must have done this before.
I watched your show and you came across so smooth, calm, professional and personable that I think you must have been doing it for years. You use you descriptive words in a way that reminds me of Alex G. and are just as warm and friendly. And you bring a kind of brightness that is just wonderful – perky and bouncy without being sickeningly sweet. Melissa looks like a frantic amateur next to you (and since her show followed yours, it was almost a side by side comparison).
August 22nd, 2010 at 2:58 pm
HI THERE AARTI I DID SEE YOUR SHOW SUNDAY AND IT WAS GREAT HOWEVER I LOVED THE SLOPPY JOES YOU HAD MADE ON THE SHOW IT NOW MAKES ME WANT TO GO BUY THE INGREDIANTS TO MAKE THEM AS WHILE YOU WERE MAKING THEM THEY LOOKED SO GOOD I WANTED TO REACH THRU THE TV AND TRY SOME THEY REALLY DID LOOK GREAT AND YOU ARE GOING TO GO PLACES GIRL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON FOOD NETWORK AND I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING YOUR EVERY EPISODE OH YEAH ALMOST FOR GOT I,M SO GLAD YOU WON THE COMPETITION I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GOOD LUCK WITH THE SHOW I,LL BE WATCHING ..DENNIS …:)
August 22nd, 2010 at 4:27 pm
You were my choice all along
Just saw your new episode, two pieces of feedback that’s pretty important as a viewer:
1. There’s too many camera shots of just your upper body, or just the food…it’s frustrating to watch knowing that you’re cooking but we can’t SEE you cooking.
2. The lighting is very dark, there are quite a few shadows.
I’d hate for the show to lose viewers ’cause I love indian food and i want to see you succeed!
August 22nd, 2010 at 5:38 pm
I loved Herb, but you were my absolute favorite for the Next Food Network Star – and you did not disappoint! Loved Aartie Party! Loved the recipes and food! I have been wanting a different raw Kale recipe, and you gave it to me! It was a great show packed with information, and only a half hour long! Wonderful job!
August 22nd, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Aarti,
My husband and I loved your show. We would really love to see you make some of the classic Indian dishes for us to try at home.
We wish you success,
Laura and Andy
Miami Florida
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Congratulations Aarti!!!! You deserved it. I caught the show this morning, and was thrilled. It’s very exciting to learn how to cook with Indian flavoring, as I love Indian food. It’s especially exciting to learn from someone who wowed Iron Chefs! I’ll be making the ice cream this week. Grats, again!
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:23 pm
I forgot, would you please teach us how to make the Indian bread (It’s been such a long time since I had it that I forget the name)? Not the stuff that’s like a cracker, but the other one. I absolutely love it.
August 23rd, 2010 at 9:38 am
Hey there Arti,
Not only do I love your food ideas, I love to try them out, but I cant eat gluten or dairy products. Any suggestions for heavy cream in the earl gray pops or yogurt in tandori? Also, do you think you could maybe give suggestions for other dairy products to use on your food network show, depending on dairy or food?
August 23rd, 2010 at 9:45 am
I am so happy for you! My BF and I watched the entire season, as we have all the rest of the seasons of NFNS, and you are our favorite of all of them. We jumped around like little kids when you won and we really sincerely look forward to watching your success on the Food Network!!! Congratulations Aarti, you really deserve it!!! YAY!!!
August 23rd, 2010 at 9:50 am
Congrats.
August 23rd, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Aarti!
Your first show really made my mouth water. I may need to wear a bib for upcoming shows.
In the autumn and winter, I make batches of lentil soup and split pea soup for quick heat-up meals. I’d love to see what you could do with those staples.
Mitch
August 23rd, 2010 at 4:42 pm
You’re our girl, Aarti! Congrats on the win to get you where you need to be to reach out to more. I want a spice tray like you have to just scoop up a spoonful of this here and another spoonful of that there…you are a delightful teacher and we’re all ready to learn how to make food that is what it should be – Indian and scrumptious! Can’t wait for your product line…I predict massive success, girlfriend!
August 23rd, 2010 at 5:40 pm
hey aarti! i think i’m your biggest fan… already. i already made your sloppy bombay joes and massaged kale salad tonight, but i don’t eat meat so the joes were veganized (i used crumbled tempeh). the first episode was fun to watch and education too. can’t wait to see more! my veganized version of your recipe is up on my blog: http://sweettaterblog.com/2010/08/23/joining-the-aarti-party/

August 23rd, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Congratulations Aarti! I knew you could do it from day one. I watched you every week (and all the re-runs too) and I cried when you won (I have tears of joy as I write this too.) When you cook, I feel like you are talking directly to me as if I was at your house. I see so many great things in store for you for the future. You are going to be right up there with Rachael Ray, bobby Flay and all the others. You truly are a star! <3 Way to go girl!
August 23rd, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Aarti! You are adorable and it’s so great that you were able to realize the confidence that we all had in you! You more than deserved the win and when I watched your first episode, it was obvious you are camera ready! You looked and sounded great! You should make more recipes using tomatoes just because I cannot get over how much I love the way you say/pronounce tomatoes! Congrats and I look forward to watching your star rise on Food Network!
August 24th, 2010 at 5:57 am
Hi Aarti, Congrats on winning the Next Food Network Star. Since day one I saw the first episode I was certain you would make it. You are so cheerful and watching you on TV reminds me of Rachel Ray when she started. Will surely be watching your episodes and hoping to learn a lot about cooking from you.
August 24th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Congrats! We have been rooting for you! We cheered when you won
August 25th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Hi Aarti! I lt loved watching you on the Next Food Network Star and I’m so happy that you won! I’m a food network junkie and love to cook. Watching you inspired me to pick up my Madhur Jaffrey cookbook that my husband bought me years ago and I never really opened. I ordered tons of spices from Penzeys.com and made several of dishes from my cookbook while watching the Star (not realizing that your recipes were posted online!). Today I made your green curry and kale salad. I adore the salad! I’ve tried kale several times and could never handle the texture and flavor, but the way you prepare it is amazing! I look forward to watching you every week! You have such a nice, warm spirit. You’re going to be great!
August 27th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Aarti!!!!!
Speaking for our foodie family of five, we are all so very thrilled at your accomplishments! You are a ray of sunshine on or TV screen and we are inspired by your cuisine as well as by your smile. We don’t know you, but we do feel like you’re family, so it wasn’t a big surprise that we all cried when you won. We look forward to watching your growth as a TV personality and a chef. We are all so glad that we can share in this adventure with you.
Mazel Tov,
Fanny, Ron,
Nicki (15), Josh (13), & Kate (11)
August 28th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Aarti, I am thrilled there is an Indian cook now on TV. Hope you can share some great traditional Indian recipes. Eagerly awaiting!!!
August 29th, 2010 at 9:56 am
Congrats Aarti!!! You deserve to be the NFNS. Since day1 of the show, I was hoping that you will win it & I am so happy that you won. Its been exciting to see an Indian host a cooking show. Keep cooking!!!
August 30th, 2010 at 4:38 am
Hi Aarti!
Just wanted you to know that I was rooting for you from Day 1 of the Next Food Network Star episode. You exuded warmth, genuineness, and humility. Also, my teenage daughter and I loved your voice! As I watched you through all the episodes, you confirmed for me that it would be wonderful if you won the competition because you were a skilled cook and continued to display the aforementioned 3 virtues. Suffice to say, I was sharing in your joy when Bobby Flay announced you as the Next Food Network Star. I have watched (and will continue to watch) your new show and it is well done. It has a comforting quality to it, like Ina Garten’s show. Perhaps in future shows, you can instruct us in the making of those delicious Indian breads. Lastly, as I have observed you during the competition and in interviews and read your blog, please continue to give God glory. It is pleasing to Him. I wish you all the best and am looking forward to seeing your next show.
August 30th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Ok I already made your first meal….um yum! Seriously, that was some of the most wonderful flavors. The chicken unbelievable and the salad-OMgoodness.
One dilemma-does it have to be at such high heat. The olive oil popped up and burned on the burners in oven and what a mess. Smoke filled the house etc.
Still after cleaning up the huge mess – the food was delicious!
By the way-loved you from the first show and called you as the winner. Glad I was right. Look forward to more fantastic Indian Cuisine inspired menus.
August 30th, 2010 at 11:57 am
My daughter & I were crossing our fingers for you to win and we abosultely love your show. Way to go Aarti and hope you all the success as the Food Network Star! Can’t wait to see your next show.

Party on, Aarti. My husband and I knew from the very first episode that you were going to win this season’s Next Food Network Star. We were so excited when your name was called during the finale, our son ran into our room to make sure we were alright. We just watched your show with the roasted chicken and potatoes. You’ve already settled in as a natural in front of the camera and you make us want to try your recipes right away. We’ve always wanted to try Indian food and we’re excited about learning from you. Congratulations, stay who you are, be happy, and dream big.

Aarti,
Wouldn,t you want to have your arms waxed before you do shows or look well groomed? hey you are on TV! ith a national audience.
Or! is that not too Indian of a thing to do? (beingt that this show’s theme is all Indian?).
Did you watch your show today? ” chai paarti”? look at the scenes where there are close up shots..eek.. Hairy arms!!
We are trying to see some appetizing recipes on the show, dont kill the appetite with those HAIRY ARMS.. PLEASE LOOK WELL GROOMED AND WAX YOUR ARMS ON THE NEXT SHOWS…. or else we will feel EUUGHHH!!..you aren;t groomed well..
