There are lots of recipes I want to try, and the ones I've used have yielded excellent results.The recipes call for a number of ingredients that may be difficult to find, but once you've acquired a few staples you'll be set for most of the recipes in the book. The author admits that she was going for authentic flavors, and not necessarily authentic recipes, and I'm sure some people will criticize the lack of authenticity with respect to traditional Persian cuisine. However, as an American, I appreciate that these recipes were adapted to include ingredients that are familiar to my palate and are readily available in American grocery stores. Most of these recipes will be very easy to anyone who has a good grasp on basic kitchen techniques.One thing I will point out is that most of the savory recipes call for saffron. I have no problem with this, as it's kind of fun to use luxurious ingredients properly, but cooking your way through this book will get a little pricy. If you are considering purchasing The New Persian Kitchen as a gift, the recipient will be even more happy if you include a gram or two of saffron threads to accompany the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and illuminating *by D***Y on April 29, 2013* I first found out about Louisa Shafia's new book through a recent Epicurious interview that was promoting it; excited to try some new flavors, I sampled a few of the recipes (the Majoon and the Carrot Salad) and was immediately smitten. The ingredients worked beautifully together--from the carrots, cilantro and red chile flakes to the dates, yogurt and nutty, textured topping of the smoothie/shake. I decided that I had to have the book and pre-ordered it; since receiving it, I've made several more dishes: the Turmeric Chicken (flavorful and tender; the combination of the yellow chicken with the lime garnish was also visually pleasing), the Rhubarb, Strawberry and Mint salad (as refreshing as it sounds and a celebration of spring produce) and the Beet Burgers (a tasty and textured veggie burger). I can't wait until the weather gets cooler to try some of the soups and stews. This book is inspiring, lovely and with well-written and original recipes. Perhaps I feel this way (at least about the originality) since I don't know all about much about Persian cooking, but this is definitely a good resource to introduce one to both traditional and experimental Persian flavors. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The great recipes are GREAT, and the rest are ok *by A***. on June 14, 2016* The recipe is worth it for the Vegetarian Grape Leaves recipe alone. However, be warned, all the recipes are HUGE quantities, and the recipe itself has no quantity info on it at all. I made one of the bread recipes, and it made 8 loaves. The grape leaves made about 100. It was out of control. Obviously, I should have known better. ;-) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1274374-the-new-persian-kitchen-a-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1274374-the-new-persian-kitchen-a-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
