Three favorite food books where there is an #ImmigrantMC Two are memoirs with the MCs immigrating to America & one is a novel where the MCs immigrate to Ireland from Iran. All feature delicious Iranian/Persian food. 💜

A beautiful memoir filled with love. Love for ones home, family and food. I loved to hear Bijans voice through her text, even though I haven't known about her before reading this book. But she's such an inspirational woman, and her memoir is, too. And so are the recipes she added. I really need to try some of them. Soon.

For anyone who has ever been homesick and longed for that moment of comfort food that takes you back to childhood this book is for you. Part memoir, part cookbook Chef Bijan writes a great love story to her family and the food they shared. Bonus - she includes recipes at the end of each chapter. My favourite-fava bean omelet!

Day 14 #marchintoreading #pipie Pie for Pi Day from my Goodreads 'Read' stack. Maman's Homesick Pie is a favorite foodie memoir. I only made it through the first 11 books of the Hannah Swenson mysteries including these 2 pie titles but I have a few more loaded on my Kindle. The 2 pie cookbooks are from blog reviews. A stop for Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie at Ted's Bakery is a North Shore must (Haupia is a creamy coconut pudding), it's SO good!😋🌴👍

Just started this and it promises to be good. But I am also really appreciating the physical attributes of this book. It is hardcover with attractive colors and design but no dust jacket. It is also a size and smoothness that makes it really easy to hold. It feels like the cross between a school library edition and a cookbook. It is quite pleasurable. I would be more amenable to buying in hardcover if more were like this. (I hate dust jackets).

#FunFridayPhoto Here are 4 favorite memoirs of mine. Try 'As You Wish' in print for for the photos & audio for the voices, 'Manman's Homesick Pie" is a favorite foodie memoir that will make you hungry, 'Working Stiff' is fascinating if you are interested in pathology, & 'Stir' is a recent audio find that I picked for my virtual foodie bookclub Jan/Feb selection so I am going to (re)read the print version. You can't go wrong with any of these!??
