Overview

Together they offer more than 200 recipes celebrating the vibrant, spice-forward cooking of the Middle East and Mediterranean, from simple weeknight suppers to showstopping dinner party dishes. Each recipe is paired with a full-color photograph, making both books as beautiful to browse as they are practical to cook from. Whether you're an experienced home cook or just beginning to explore Middle Eastern flavors, this hardcover set delivers approachable, crowd-pleasing dishes for everyday meals and special occasions alike.

About the Books
Persiana, Sabrina Ghayour's debut cookbook, introduced Western kitchens to the fragrant, colorful cooking of the Middle East with more than 100 recipes built around accessible ingredients and bold, layered flavors. Dishes like spiced lamb meatballs, blood orange salads, and rosewater-scented cakes showcase Ghayour's talent for turning traditional Persian and Middle Eastern staples into approachable weeknight meals and impressive dinner party fare. The book quickly became a bestseller and was praised by critics and fellow cooks for making Middle Eastern cuisine feel achievable rather than intimidating. Sirocco, Ghayour's highly anticipated follow-up, expands the journey further east and around the Mediterranean, offering another 100-plus recipes built on the same philosophy: simple pantry ingredients transformed through smart spicing and confident technique. From comforting stews and vibrant salads to spectacular sweet treats, Sirocco continues Ghayour's mission of demystifying regional cooking for home kitchens. Both books are presented in sturdy hardcover editions with full-color photography throughout, designed to withstand regular use at the stove while still looking beautiful displayed on a kitchen shelf. Together, this set traces the early evolution of one of the most influential modern voices in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean home cooking, making it an excellent introduction for new fans and a satisfying addition for readers already devoted to Ghayour's later books, such as Feasts, Bazaar, and Simply.
