says

Legendary Bay Area cook, Niloufer Ichaporia King captures the patchwork cuisine of India’s rapidly fading Parsi population, descendants from Zoroastrian Persians who migrated to the subcontinent centuries ago. The James Beard Award-winning compilation, a valiant exercise in cultural conservation, features community favorites such as Eggs on Potato Chips and Yogurt Honey Jelly With Strawberries and Roses.

This is a book that is dear to my heart. I was born and raised in Bombay and every word from the headnotes to the recipes, brings back the most wonderful memories of my former home. The book is a wonderful homage to Parsi cuisine.
