But she has the rare gift of being able to translate her personal heritage into recipes even newcomers will be able to pull off." --The New York Times Book Review "Yasmin Khan traversed Iran in search of the country's most delicious recipes, adding her own modern twist to each dish." -- The Independent "One of the more engrossing cookbooks I read this year . . . Nations speak and, in some cases, survive through their culinary traditions. This book is an incomparable and important examination of Iranian society through its kitchens and cuisine." --Jessica Koslow, The Wall Street Journal "Of all the books I read for this roundup, [ The Saffron Tales] had the most recipes I wanted to try. The combination of simple and unusual gets me every time. An omelette with dates and cinnamon was a delight. Olives marinated with walnuts and pomegranates were cocktail-hour crack." -- The Wall Street Journal "[Khan's] food is a sensitive balance of tradition with modern tweaks." -- Los Angeles Times "Yasmin celebrates the rich history of Persian food with accessible recipes and enticing photographs. Fan of Ottolenghi? You'll love this!" -- Good Housekeeping "A truly impressive culinary compendium showcasing and celebrating the cuisine of Iran . . . enjoyable . . . inspiring . . . The Saffron Tales is strongly recommended and certain to be an enduringly popular addition to personal, professional, family, and community library cookbook collections." -- Midwest Book Review "This is so much more than a compilation of recipes, gorgeous though they themselves are. This is a book that tells a story, both cultural and personal, and her voice is as engaging as her food." --Nigella Lawson "Yasmin's recipes are a mouthwatering showcase of a beautiful country." --Yotam Ottolenghi "Not just a great cookbook but a book full of stories--a love letter to Iran and its people." --Diana Henry "Yasmin Khan draws on her vast experience as a storyteller, cook, human rights activist, itinerant traveler and writer to create a moving, empathetic, hugely knowledgeable and utterly delicious book. " --Anthony Bourdain on ZAITOUNPublisher Marketing: Winner of the M.F.K Fisher Award for Excellence in Culinary Writing from Les Dames d'Escoffier
