- Description
- "Maman's Homesick Pie" is a captivating and emotionally rich memoir by Iranian American chef Donia Bijan, centering on her family's transition from Iran to California in 1978. Bijan uses food as a language to navigate her journey from her Persian roots to her American life, her culinary education in Paris, and her successful career as a bistro owner in San Francisco. The memoir features thirty inspired recipes that mix her Persian heritage with her expertise in French cooking. It also stands as a tribute to the women, especially her mother, who motivates us to fulfill our potential.
