Featuring breathtaking photography and framed by beautiful designs, this cookbook showcases the intricate connections between French and Persian cuisine, culminating in a collection of simple — yet elegant — recipes that are near and dear to the hearts of many.
Abdi’s story began on the lush streets of her Iranian childhood, growing up in a culture where food was central to identity — where entire families enjoyed cooking together and recipes were lovingly passed down over generations. After mastering Persian cuisine, Abdi traveled to France to study as a chef, learning recipes that she now shares in Shiraz & Syrah, in tribute to the historical, cultural and culinary links that bond Iran and France.
