While rediscovering my heritage through food, I realized that Dhansak is a dish that mirrors my people. It’s rich, nostalgic and full of zest, very much like my unshakeable community—Anahita Dhondy celebrates her heritage in Parsi Kitchen—a warm and whimsical food memoir with recipes. Weaving together the stories of those closest to her, Dhondy writes with passion about being raised in a food-filled household in this beautifully photographed book. Tracing her family recipes through travel, culinary gems including a Quetta cherry-laden caramel custard recipe handed down from a great-grandmother who lived in Pakistan to a Bombay Duck creation inspired by her journeys through Gujarat to discover her roots.
