"The book itself is a work of art. Broken down into seasons, it defines what foods are optimal for the time of year. Herbs are an important part of all recipes and are a main focus along with vegetables, and proteins. The Persian Kitchen Physician is a must for any chef interested in a healthy diet or who just likes to cook."

-Bernadette Dardick

"Beyond the interesting recipes that I can't wait to try, the stories in the book awakened me to the sacred value of traditional medicines. I got a palpable sense of this family's reverence for their personal gifts of knowledge and I marveled at how they knew, without question, that it was their purpose to share these ancient, effective treatments. This author is a 6TH GENERATION practitioner who gracefully holds the torch to keep these traditions alive-because they work. I imagine that is pretty challenging in today's medical world where pharmaceuticals are the go-to. There are even eating plans for the different seasons! Who knew? This book opened my eyes to alternatives that really make sense."
