Vibrant recipes, one family's memories of their homeland and a fascinating insight into Afghanistan's rich heritage. 'Parwana stole my heart' - Diana Henry 'Parwana tells many stories ... it is a celebration: the recipes in it bulge with colour and flavour and life ...' - Nigella Lawson Interwoven with traditional Afghan recipes is one family's story of a region long afflicted by war, but with much more at its heart. Author Durkhanai Ayubi's parents, Zelmai and Farida Ayubi, fled Afghanistan with their young children in 1985, at the height of the Cold War. When their family-run restaurant Parwana opened its doors in Adelaide in 2009, their vision was to share with the world their family memories through the delights of Afghan cuisine, infused with Afghanistan's rich historical culture and traditions of generosity and hospitality, to offer a more complete picture of the country they had left behind. These fragrant and flavourful recipes have been in the family for generations and include rice dishes, dumplings, curries, meats, Afghan pastas, chutneys and pickles, soups and breads, drinks and desserts. Some are everyday meals, some are celebratory special dishes. Each has a story to tell.

Book Description
Most of the dishes in this collection do not take too much time to prepare, however a few do. I have tried to present these recipes in such a way as to be easily prepared with commonly available ingredients. I believe in using the best and most fresh ingredients - this is healthful and not necessarily expensive. It is my hope that you will enjoy these wonderful dishes and entertain yourselves and your friends with the unique flavors from this great and ancient land. I am very concerned and committed to preserving my native culture especially during these times of great strife, and while the very existence of Afghanistan, as I knew it is in danger of disappearing. I wish you " Nosh-i-jon" - good eating!

Mahmoud's passion for his wife Fereiba, a schoolteacher, is greater than any love she's ever known.

Mahmoud, a civil engineer, becomes a target of the new fundamentalist regime and is murdered. Forced to flee Kabul with her three children, Fereiba has one hope to survive: she must find a way to cross Europe and reach her sister's family in England. With forged papers and help from kind strangers they meet along the way, Fereiba make a dangerous crossing into Iran under cover of darkness. Exhausted and brokenhearted but undefeated, Fereiba manages to smuggle them as far as Greece. But in a busy market square, their fate takes a frightening turn when her teenage son, Saleem, becomes separated from the rest of the family. Faced with an impossible choice, Fereiba pushes on with her daughter and baby, while Saleem falls into the shadowy underground network of undocumented Afghans who haunt the streets of Europe's capitals. Across the continent Fereiba and Saleem struggle to reunite, and ultimately find a place where they can begin to reconstruct their lives.
