"One of the most soulful and personal books on refreshing, fragrant, and delicious Persian dishes that express her youth, family tradition, and sophistication." – Daniel Boulud, chef and restaurateur

An exquisite collection presenting 100 Persian home-cooking recipes and stories from one family collection.

When Leila Heller's mother, Nahid Taghinia-Milani, came to the United States in 1979, she brought her recipes with her. Persian Feasts features Iranian delicacies in a tapestry of textures and aromas, from Shiraz in the south to Tabriz in the north.

This collection of 100 dishes includes hearty stews, saffron-infused rice dishes, succulent kebabs and delicate rosewater desserts – each telling a story rooted in tradition and passed down through generations.

Unexpected ingredient combinations create distinctive tastes and aromas in every dish – from a simple Herb Frittata to a comforting Eggplant, Walnut & Pomegranate Stew and a delicately perfumed Cardamom and Rose Water Pudding.

This personal cookbook for home cooks also includes family stories, historical accounts of food culture, recipe origins and celebratory menus. Specially commissioned food photography captures the richness of this vibrant cuisine.
