Praise for Third Culture Cooking

“It is not every day that you open a cookbook and can't find a single recipe you don't want to eat. In fact, I don't know if I ever have...until now. Zaynab's food is a lot of things–intentional, smart, storied, beautiful–and above all else, divinely delicious. She is the kind of cook that simply ‘gets it’ and this book is a very clear testament to that. In Zaynab Issa we trust.”
Molly Baz, author of Cook this Book and More Is More

Issa writes and cooks with intent, clarity, and affection. Whether you’re third culture or simply third-course curious, her debut feels both familiar and new, like a dish you didn’t realize you’d been craving all along.
VOGUE

“Third Culture Cooking is my new book for instant inspiration. Each page holds either something I haven’t learned or a new take on a comfort classic. Issa is the one who (famously!!) brought green chutney into my life, and now I can say she’s given me 100 more things that I am excited to get on my table.”
Justine Doiron, author of Justine Cooks

“It should be no surprise to me that Zaynab has created a cookbook that is at once a work of art and extremely approachable—and yet here I am, gasping in awe with every turn of a page. Delicious, drop dead gorgeous and deeply down-to-earth, this book is both the girl I want to be and the girl I want to be best friends with, just like Zaynab herself. I guess some girls really can do it all! And now, so can we.”
Dan Pelosi, New York Times bestselling author of Let's Eat: 101 Recipes to Fill Your Heart and Home
