Shortlisted for both the Jane Grigson Trust and Yan-Kit So Awards, Silk Roads is an extraordinary debut that charts the ancient trade routes through taste, memory, and story. Iranian-American food writer Anna Ansari offers a sumptuous blend of recipes and reflections that illuminate the shared language of food across continents. From saffron-scented rice to Uyghur lamb chops, each dish is steeped in heritage and humanity. With its evocative prose and stunning photography, this is more than a cookbook – it’s a culinary passport across cultures, connecting kitchens from East to West.
