Description
Join us for a rich discussion with authors of Maman and Me: Recipes from our Iranian-American Family, Roya Shariat and Gita Sadeh. In this conversation, we explore the inspiration behind their book, celebrating the hybrid culture of Iranian-Americans and the innovative ways immigrants adapt their traditional recipes with available ingredients. Gita and Roya share their experiences of cooking as a form of love and respect for family and guests, and the challenges of sourcing Persian ingredients in the 1980s. Listen in as we explore the significance of food as a cultural lifeline for diaspora communities, connecting us to our roots, our ancestors, and our history.
With the loving storytelling and a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation in their cookbook, Roya and Gita provide a fascinating insight into the world of Iranian-American cuisine. Don't miss this captivating discussion!
