Book description
"This is an outstanding collection that will surely win readers over and inspire many a meal." 'ÄîPublishers Weekly "With this stunning collection of approachable Middle Eastern recipes, the author dispels the notion that Persian, Turkish, Arab, and Armenian cuisines are too complicated for home cooks. In six chapters overflowing with photos of vibrantly sauced and garnished foods, she presents small plates, breads, salads, desserts, and other dishes that can be served individually or as part of a feast. VERDICT In a word, outstanding." 'ÄîLibrary Journal, starred review "This is Ottolenghi with rocket fuel." 'ÄîThe Times "Loving Persiana."

What a fantastic treasure trove of good food! Within these pages, the cook will find recipes for tagines, soups, stews, salads and plenty of sweet treats. Through the pages of Persiana, Sabrina delivers the Eastern promise in its delicious, gastronomic form. If you want to eat like an Arabian Knight, then start here... but be sure to stock up on cinnamon, cumin and coriander..." 'ÄîRaymond Blanc "Sabrina Ghayour is a phenomenal Persian chef." 'ÄîGizzi Erskine "Sabrina cooks the kind of food I love to eat: lots of flavors distilled out of love and generosity. In this book Sabrina demystifies the use of spices.
