Mother-daughter duo chef Gita Sadeh and journalist Roya Shariat invitingly adapt their popular TikTok videos onto the page in the irresistibly toothsome, culturally nourishing Maman & Me, "celebrating the beautiful nuances of Iranian American cuisine." What makes this both Iranian and American, Shariat explains, is their "lived experience--me growing up in this country, and Maman moving [here] at the very age I am while writing this book." Shariat first provides proactive pantry tips, then shares Maman's delightful nearly 80 recipes--paired with salivating-inducing photographs by Farrah Skeiky--for breakfast (such as Sweet or Savory Labneh Toast); Mazzeh (snacks and sides), mains that include beef, seafood, and vegetarian; drinks; desserts (Rosewater and Cardamom Pudding!); and more. An entire section is devoted to the glorious rice creations of Sadeh, the "CEO of tahdig." Shariat writes: "Our food is meant to be shared with the people you love." So, too, is their marvelous cookbook. --Terry Hong
