Persian Cooking

I have a large selection of Persian cookbooks but this book is my favorite. Nesta is an excellant cook and the final results of her recipes are very delicious. I am American, but married to a Persian man, so when I cook Persian food I want to please his taste buds. I have cooked many of the recipes in this book and he has enjoyed every one of them. I would recommend this book to any one that is looking for authentic Persian cooking. Many Middle Eastern cookbooks include recipes other than what the people of Iran enjoy. When you cook from this book you can be sure that the recipe is from Iran. You won't be able to stop eating! Enjoy

Very Good Persian Cookbook

I'm from Iran and have used various Persian cookbooks. This is the only one in English where the recipes turned out as they should have.
