After settling in the United  States, Bijan's mother experimented with American cooking but always  incorporated familiar Persian flavors, recreating a sense of home for  her family. She passed those [A]recipes[/A] to her daughter.Donia Bijan spent her first 16 years in Iran. "My parents had  a hospital in Tehran," she recalls. "I grew up in the top floor of the  [A]hospital[/A]. It had a beautiful garden. We even had planted [A]vegetables[/A], and  I watched my parents run this hospital like you run a large family."Bijan's mother ran the kitchen, and that's where Donia took her first cooking lesson. "My mother planned the menus for the patients," she says. "I was always welcome in the [A]kitchen[/A]."<img src="https://www.51voa.com/images/201110/Donia+Bijan+by+Zach+Heffner.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Zach Heffner Chef Donia Bijan's book, "Maman's Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in An American Kitchen," contains 30 recipes.   When the family had to leave Iran, they [A]headed[/A] to San Francisco. "And  again, I watched her in the kitchen in America transform and try to  learn and tune in to the flavors of her new [A]country[/A] through their food  and by cooking. "Food helped Bijan's mother connect with  neighbors. But her Persian recipes on the family dinner table helped  heal their homesick hearts as well. Food became an [A]expression[/A] of  belonging and later, for Bijan, a career. With her mother's  encouragement, Bijan pursued her dreams. After studying at Le Cordon  Bleu in Paris, she returned to San Francisco and started her own French  restaurant. But a few years ago, she began to rediscover Persian  cuisine. "When my mother died in 2004, I found these recipes and  I very much felt that she had left those for me to find and that they  carried her story," she says. "But it took me over a year to really  [A]understand[/A] what to do with it."<img src="https://www.51voa.com/images/201110/Maman+Homesick+Pie.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> In  "Maman's Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in An American Kitchen," chef  Donia Bijan shares not only recipes, but also the story behind them. Bijan decided to compile the recipes in a cookbook. She calls it a "food memoir.""I  [A]realized [/A]that recipes are so dull, if they are just instructions. And  you can convey so much with a recipe if it is tied in with a story." Bijan's  book, "Maman's Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in An American Kitchen,"  contains 30 recipes. They [A]include[/A] Saffron Yogurt Rice with Chicken and  Eggplant, Braised Chicken with Persian Plums, and Orange Cardamom  cookies. All are delivered with [A]stories[/A]. "When I was talking  about spending our summers by the Caspian Sea, it was natural for me to  include fava bean omelet because I [A]remember[/A] eating it by the seaside  with all my relatives," Bijan says. The book includes some of her own recipes, too."When  I talk about the ratatouille that I made in Paris," she says, "it was  also a natural [A]transition[/A] from describing how nervous I was that my  father was going to come and visit me in Paris, and I wanted to show off  really what I had learned, and I bungled the whole thing."Bijan  is a regular customer of the date [A]farmer[/A] who comes weekly to the  farmers' market in San Francisco. She uses his dates to make Cinnamon  Date Bars."I remember that there was a similar cookie that my  mother would buy for me," she says. "She was a member of [A]parliament[/A] and  the district was in the center of Iran where they specialize in these  date cookies. She would go away to visit her district and I would miss  her so much. And she would come back, slowly take this box out of her  purse and hand it to me. Everything was [A]forgiven[/A] in that moment. Her  absence was forgiven."Bijan, who hopes readers will try some of  the recipes, says Persian dishes are not as [A]difficult[/A] to make as they  might seem. All it takes is patience and [A]practice[/A].</blockquote>
