A New Cookbook Explores the Rich Diversity of Parsi Food

It's inspired by his own travels back to India to learn more about his roots, but fosters a mission of showcasing and preserving Parsi cuisine—for those who've never heard of it, and for new generations of Parsis alike. The primary difference between McDonald’s fries and the fries that I made is that McDonald’s fries are good.

And while the intent of the show might not be strictly instructional, sometimes seeing what not to do is more helpful than seeing what you’re supposed to do. Importantly, though, the book provides a portrait of the Parsi community, and what their culture looks like in today's India—not to mention the Parsi dishes to seek out on your next trip.
