Praise for Maydan

“With Maydan, Rose Previte has penned a glorious love letter to food cultures that are often overshadowed by newspaper headlines. She delivers simple-to-follow recipes for the kind of bright, soulful food you want to eat every day of the week.”
Nilou Motamed

“Rose Previte's Maydan is extraordinarily scrumptious, stunning, and smart! She brilliantly weaves together recipes from her family, restaurants, and travels, while adding meaningful cultural context. The book is a joy to read.”
Pati Jinich

“Maydan is one of my favorite go-to spots in DC—the perfect place to tuck in and feel transported to so many different worlds. Rose Previte has translated this sense of joy, wanderlust, and coziness into the pages of Maydan, the cookbook. Each recipe in this book represents culture in every way. A delicious history that should be devoured page after page.”
