Born in India, Lakshmi immigrated to the United States as a child. She became a model before embarking on a career on television. She has written five books: two cookbooks, Easy Exotic and Tangy, Tart, Hot & Sweet; an encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia of Spices & Herbs: An Essential Guide to the Flavors of the World; a memoir, Love, Loss, and What We Ate; and a children's book, Tomatoes for Neela illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal, the latter two appearing on The New York Times's best-seller list.

Lakshmi was born Padma Parvati Lakshmi Vaidynathan on September 1, 1970, in the city of Madras, which has been known by Chennai since 1996, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Her mother, Vijaya Lakshmi, is a retired oncology nurse. Vijaya and Lakshmi's father separated in 1971 and divorced the next year, after which the former immigrated to the United States alone. Lakshmi lived with her maternal grandparents before joining Vijaya two years later. Lakshmi lived in the New York City borough of Queens before moving to La Puente, a city in Los Angeles County, California, with her stepfather, Anand Prasad – a Fijian-born ethnic Indian – and Vijaya. Lakshmi has stated that, as a teenager, she was bullied due to her Indian heritage, which caused her to struggle to overcome "internalized self-loathing."
