Book excerpt: Winner of The IACP 2019 First Book Award presented by The Julia Child Foundation Like Madhur Jaffrey and Marcella Hazan before her, Naz Deravian will introduce the pleasures and secrets of her mother culture's cooking to a broad audience that has no idea what it's been missing. America will not only fall in love with Persian cooking, it'll fall in love with Naz.” - Samin Nosrat, author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: The Four Elements of Good Cooking Naz Deravian lays out the multi-hued canvas of a Persian meal, with 100+ recipes adapted to an American home kitchen and interspersed with Naz's celebrated essays exploring the idea of home. At eight years old, Naz Deravian left Iran with her family during the height of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and hostage crisis. Over the following ten years, they emigrated from Iran to Rome to Vancouver, carrying with them books of Persian poetry, tiny jars of saffron threads, and always, the knowledge that home can be found in a simple, perfect pot of rice. As they traverse the world in search of a place to land, Naz's family finds comfort and familiarity in pots of hearty aash, steaming pomegranate and walnut chicken, and of course, tahdig: the crispy, golden jewels of rice that form a crust at the bottom of the pot. The best part, saved for last. In Bottom of the Pot, Naz, now an award-winning writer and passionate home cook based in LA, opens up to us a world of fragrant rose petals and tart dried limes, music and poetry, and the bittersweet twin pulls of assimilation and nostalgia. In over 100 recipes, Naz introduces us to Persian food made from a global perspective, at home in an American kitchen.

Download or read book Iran s Nowruz Revolution written by Amir Fassihi and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that two invincible forces were created in the 20th century: the atom bomb and nonviolence. IRAN'S NOWRUZ REVOLUTION examines the potential for nonviolence as a force against one of the last ruthless religious regimes still in power today. Iran has been at the crossroads of clashing armies, religions, tribes and ideas since the dawn of time. For too many of its citizens, violence has become life as usual. A gripping account of the violence inflicted on Iranians from the distant past to the present day shows how the Iranians' psyche is shaped in the belief that political violence is fait accompli. In addition, IRAN'S NOWRUZ REVOLUTION shows how totalitarian regimes like the Islamic Republic deliberately use violence to create sources of fear, trauma and terror in society as tools for submission and control. IRAN'S NOWRUZ REVOLUTION is also a study on the evolution of nonviolence and explains why its great spiritual and social force has wide appeal and can overcome the tyranny of the current leadership in Iran despite Iran's legacy of violence. Nowruz (new-day), the ancient Iranian celebration of New Year at the start of spring, holds deep meaning of hope, revival and rebirth for Iranians. IRAN'S NOWRUZ REVOLUTION is an investigation of how nationwide civil disobedience and the momentum for a nonviolent revolution in Iran can be achieved through the employment of powerful monthly celebrations of peace, charity and kindness exemplified by Nowruz and which are abhorred by the current religious regime. Iranians long for a transition to a political system based on the principles of human rights, and are desperate for additional nonviolent methods to further their campaign against the pervasive terror. IRAN'S NOWRUZ REVOLUTION shows how the spirit of resistance that galvanized the Iranian Green Movement of 2009 can be rekindled and sustained in present day Iran using Nowruz and other Iranian celebrations as tools for civil disobedience.
Download or read book Belonging written by Niloufar Talebi and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent political developments, including the shadow of a new war, have obscured the fact that Iran has a long and splendid artistic tradition ranging from the visual arts to literature. Western readers may have some awareness of the Iranian novel thanks to a few breakout successes like Reading Lolita in Tehran and My Uncle Napoleon, but the country's strong poetic tradition remains little known. This anthology remedies that situation with a rich selection of recent poetry by Iranians living all around the world, including Amir-Hossein Afrasiabi: “Although the path / tracks my footsteps, / I don’t travel it / for the path travels me.” Varying dramatically in style, tone, and theme, these expertly translated works include erotic divertissements by Ziba Karbassi, rigorously formal poetry by Yadollah Royaii, experimental poems by Naanaam, powerful polemics by Maryam Huleh, and the personal-epic work of Shahrouz Rashid. Eclectic and accessible, these vibrant poems deepen the often limited awareness of Iranian identity today by not only introducing readers to contemporary Iranian poetry, but also expanding the canon of significant writing in the Persian language. Belonging offers a glimpse at a complex culture through some of its finest literary talents.
