JBC Network author Louisa Shafia returns with her latest cookbook, The New Persian Kitchen (Ten Speed Press). If this one is anything like her last (she published the mouthwatering Lucid Food in 2009), you won’t be disappointed.
Tip: I was lucky enough to take a great cooking class with Louisa several years ago (and hoping for round two this year). If she’s visiting a city near you, it’s a must.
