Overview
Iranian American cook and writer, Anna Ansari, is a former international trade lawyer and Chinese history scholar, who has been fascinated by the Silk Roads ever since her stay in China as a teenager and due to a growing obsession with The Golden Peaches of Samarkand (a record of the exotic goods imported into China during the T'ang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907). Her writing focuses on the intersection of food, family and history, with special attention to the immigrant experience as well to foods of the Asian continent. She is particularly interested in the ways food—flavor, ingredients, dishes—move across borders, carried in the memories and pockets of travelers and transplants.
This cookbook is a culmination of her lifelong passion for the history and food of these regions, one that is ambitious in scope and flavor, appealing to curious cooks and lovers of global history.
