An easy book to follow. Have tried many of the recipes and happy to say each one was delicious. Recommend it as a holiday gift to anyone interested in Parsi Cooking.

A SPLENDID BOOK
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018Verified Purchase
This is a book I have looked forward to owning for a long time and it is everything I expected and far more.
The Parsis have possibly the oldest living culture that still exists in this world. These happy go lucky, kind and party loving people have their roots in ancient Persia.
They are Zoroastrians , who follow a religion that entered documented history in the 5th century BC and were the majority in ancient Persia. They moved to the Indian subcontinent around the 8th century AD after the Muslim conquest of Persia.
Their unique culture is thus a mix of both their fabled Persian origin and their subcontinental new home. Their food reflects this perspective.
These recipes are unique and extremely delicious.
The book itself is very well written , with easy to follow recipes and lavishly illustrated.
As one who both loves history and has been cooking for many years and is always interested in something new , this treasure trove of lovingly written recipes by a world famous cook with a huge following is just what I had been looking for.
Now to get back to my kitchen and then to eat!
