Review: Excellent - I’m a cookbook junkie. I have several Persian and Iranian cookbooks and each has its particular “flavor”. This one has clearly written and beautifully illustrated recipes which are well-defined and generally (relatively) easy to execute. The narrative portions and regional notes are well-photographed and nicely written. The Ghalia Maygoo on page 162 is particularly delicious……..
Review: Come for the fascinating look at Iran, stay for the food. - I read about the story behind the cookbook and was interested in that as much as the recipes themselves - the family history, and the stories of where the recipes come from, as well as the country itself. All of that is really fun to read about, and is nicely weaved into the recipes. But it's not just the stories. The food is so, so good. I'm not a good cook, and I've never cooked Persian food at home, but there's so much in this book that is simple to do (while looking v v impressive to the dinner guests.) The red cabbage and date salad is better than any coleslaw I've ever bought, Chicken with walnuts is the easiest complicated thing I've ever tried, and the easy naan is even easier than the name suggests. Also, super important in our house given we're 50% vegetarian, not only are there lots of veggie dishes, but the meat recipes often have a postscript outlining a vegetarian alternative. This is a great cookbook, especially if you're interested in what food means for a country and the people who live there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite Cookbook in Years!!!
*by A***Y on April 19, 2021*

My friend had taken her other cookbook out of the library, Zaitoun, and I flipped through and tried a recipe or two. Then when I saw The Saffron Tales, I fell in love with the cover and the reviews made me purchase it. I'm so glad I did. Throughout 2020, I made about 20 of the recipes, and each one worked. My nephew-in-law, who grew up on Persian food, said the recipes were authentic and similiar to the ones his mom made - and missed!! Once we get through the pandemic, I hope to cook these for him - and also cook with his mom. The recipes are fresh, eye-opening flavors that pop. A trip to the local MidEastern grocery, I was able to purchase all that I needed in that one trip to stock my spice cabinet. It's been magical. And it seems like Yasmin is in the kitchen with me given the way she explains each dish. Can't wait for the next cookbook.
