From Persia to Napa: Wine at the Persian Table

Najmieh Batmanglij, Dick Davis, Burke Owens. Wine is seen as the natural partner of many great cuisines, but few people associate it with Persian food, one of the world’s most sophisticated culinary traditions. The ties, in fact, are age-old. This book weaves together history, poetry, a look at modern viniculture, and a wealth of recipes and wine pairings to celebrate the rightful relationship of wine and food on the Persian table. Hardcover. 264 pages with 160 color photos. 2008.
