Cooks & Books: Yasmin Khan for Sabzi

"Pure poetry and joy." -- Meera Sodha

Yasmin Khan is a food and travel writer, broadcaster, and human rights campaigner. She is the author of three previous bestselling cookbooks: Ripe Figs, Zaitoun, and The Saffron Tales.

Yasmin joins us to talk, demo, and dish our tasters from her new cookbook Sabzi, a collection of vibrant vegetarian recipes.

Lifting its name from the Persian word for "herbs," Sabzi is a collection of more than 80 accessible, plant-forward recipes that celebrate the best of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian flavors.

From bountiful salads to fragrant soups, colorful mezze, and heart-warming mains, Yasmin invites home cooks to eat better for the health of people and the planet, while staying connected to the traditional food cultures that make us who we are.

"In the world of food, Yasmin Khan is a beacon of humanity and light. This generosity and kindness is represented on every page of Sabzi, resplendent with colorful and bountiful vegetable dishes that beg to be eaten and shared." -- Hetty Lui McKinnon
