Each of the recipes comes with personal comments from the author – origins, how she found/adapted it, and some tips or possible substitutions. Each recipe utilizes the abundance of varied flavour profiles of the East, from spices, herbs and perfumed aromatics to hearty staples such as grains and pulses, combined with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Simply: Easy everyday dishes: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

British-Iranian Chef and author Sabrina Ghayour has been dubbed ‘The Golden Girl of Persian Cookery’ and her debut cookbook Persiana became a runaway bestseller followed by Sirocco, Feasts and her latest book, Bazaar. With an emphasis on simple ingredients and strong flavours, Ghayour will bring her modern inspirational touch to a variety of dishes ranging from classics and comfort food to spectacular salads and sweet treats. I was rather sad to have removed red meat from my diet when reading through recipes for lamb and sour cherries, braised lamb neck, lamb and bulgar meatballs and beef and caramelized onion pide. In Simply, many of the dishes I attempted had in common preserved lemons, tahini and the zest and juice of a plump lime.There are lots of very interesting and tasty recipes in this book, and I’m sure everyone who loves food will find inspiration here. The food originated from the Xinjiang region of China and has been spread all across China's cities, where street food is popular. The author has a somewhat unusual approach which I appreciate, blending Persian with British while I am reading in the US.
