Cooking in Iran: Regional Recipes and Kitchen Secrets [Batmanglij, Najmieh] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Cooking in Iran: Regional Recipes and Kitchen Secrets

Review: A magnificent cookbook. - Najmieh Batmanglij's Cooking in Iran is not just a cookbook, it's a journey through the plains, mountains, cities, and villages of Iran. A welcome addition to Food of Life, Cooking in Iran further contextualizes the cuisine of Iran within the day-to-day culture of its citizens, and across the many regions of the country. The recipes are based off of treasured household dishes, as well as more popular iterations of classic Iranian fare. While some of the ingredients are hard to find, most of them can be easily procured online. Some of the recipes may seem complicated, but what else should one expect from a world-renowned cookbook author (this is not a coloring book after all)? Despite the daunting look of some of the recipes, the effort put into them is worthwhile. The Spinach and Dumpling Osh (pg. 402) was deeply satisfying, and the Saffron Rice + Potato Croquettes (pg. 328) were delightful and bright (I made the vegan version). Many of the recipes have vegetarian and vegan twists that turn out with solid results. Writing a cookbook is not easy, nor is the research behind it. Cooking in Iran is the best attempt I've come across at distilling the essence of Iranian/Persian food culture. For some, it may seem that the book teeters too much on the travelogue side. However, for those who are unfamiliar with Persian culture (or who will never be able to travel to Iran), the copious amount of information and photographs provide necessary context for the recipes, and illuminates the history of the dishes. I also think Najmieh looks lovely in her white hat.
Review: Most Comprehensive Guide to Iranian/Persian Cuisine Available - The book is filled with hundreds of delicious recipes and stunning visuals of the local cuisine of Iran. It traces the story of Najmieh's journey revisiting Iran after thirty-nine years to celebrate the specialties and traditional dishes of each region. It's as much a journey through history as it is through food, and Najmieh does an amazing job tying these two together while providing the reader with clear, step-by-step instructions to creating mouthwatering plates!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally Amazing in one word!
*by D***E on November 13, 2018*

This book is a step further than a regular cookbook! It has a bit of history, a bit of geography and lots of dishes that has been forgotten and yet they are super delicious and easy to make/ find ingredients! Not only it is a book for your kitchen or coffee table, it is a novel to read at night before falling asleep and dream about yummy food! :) Najmeh's books has impressed me in the past, but this one by far is the best! :) Thank you Mrs. Batmangili!!!
