Since 1999 (yes 20 years) I have been inspired by old traditional Parsi cookbooks like the “Vividh Vani” and my mother’s cooking. I have cooked for family and friends, meticulously written recipes and taken photographs over the years.
The Parsi Cuisine cookbook series is a labor of love. The cookbooks began in an effort to maintain and preserve our recipes and traditions for the next generation, many of whom have been raised in India. Today, as accomplished adults in their own fields Rita’s children encouraged her to write this book for their generation.
Parsi Zarathushtis from India have settled in North America and other continents making the land they live in their home. Adapting to the local produce available, Parsi Cuisine takes on a nuance of that local area. This style of cooking incorporates Indian, Persian, Asian, Mediterranean and other diets.
Cookbooks have authentic, tested mouth-watering recipes with historical background of traditional Parsi Cuisine. Parsi, Persian and Indian Heritage background is given wherever appropriate. I have tried to emphasize how nutritious Parsi-style of cooking is even now in the 21st century.
