The Persians of antiquity were renowned for their lavish
cuisine and their never-ceasing fascination with the exotic.
These traits still find expression in the cooking of India's
rapidly dwindling Parsi population--descendants of
Zoroastrians who fled Persia after the Sassanian empire fell
to the invading Arabs. The first book published in the
United States on Parsi food written by a Parsi, this
beautiful volume includes 165 recipes and makes one of
India's most remarkable regional cuisines accessible to
Westerners. In an intimate narrative rich with personal
experience, the author leads readers into a world of new
ideas, tastes, ingredients, and techniques, with a range of
easy and seductive menus that will reassure neophytes and
challenge explorers.
