This week, we're excited to welcome Naz Deravian to SALT + SPINE, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks. Naz Deravian is the author of Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories, her first cookbook.
âIâm cooking for my family in Los Angeles. And itâs the food that has traveled with me in Rome and then in Vancouverâand itâs food that has grown, and I call it âaccented food.â So, itâs got my accent. And when you make it for your family and in your home, I hope it picks up on your accent, because thatâs whatâs important.â
We sat down with Naz at San Francisco's The Civic Kitchen cooking school to talk about creating her first cookbook, Persian cuisine, and the impact of todayâs political climate on her work.
