Cookbook with 100 Persian Family Recipes and Stories
Persian Feasts is a culinary journey through Iran – with 100 family recipes, stories, and memories that connect generations. When Leila Heller’s mother Nahid Taghinia-Milani moved to the USA in 1979, she took her recipes with her – and with them the scents, flavors, and traditions of an entire culture.
The book gathers hearty stews, fragrant saffron rice, tender kebabs, and sweet rosewater desserts – each dish tells a story from a different part of the country, from Shiraz to Tabriz. Surprising combinations of herbs, nuts, fruits, and spices create dishes full of depth and warmth: from a simple herb frittata to eggplant and walnut stew with pomegranate, to a gently perfumed pudding with cardamom and rosewater.
Persian Feasts is more than a cookbook – it is a declaration of love for shared meals, family traditions, and the sensuality of Persian cuisine. Beautiful photographs capture the richness, color, and generosity of this cuisine.
