The Persians : a novel / by Mahloudji, Sanam,1977-author.;
"Meet the Valiat family. In Iran, they were somebodies. In America, they're nobodies. First there is Elizabeth, the regal matriarch with the famously large nose who stayed in Tehran during the revolution. She lives in a shabby apartment, paranoid and alone. Except when she is visited by Niaz, her Islamic-law-breaking granddaughter who takes her debauchery with a side of purpose, and yet somehow manages to survive. Elizabeth's daughters left for America in 1979: Shirin, a charismatic yet outrageous event planner in Houston who considers herself the family's future, and Seema, a dreamy idealist-turned-housewife languishing in the chaparral-filled hills of Los Angeles. And then there's the other granddaughter Bita, the self-righteous but lost law student spending her days in New York City eating pancakes and quietly giving away her belongings. When an annual vacation in Aspen goes wildly awry and Shirin ends up being bailed out of jail by Bita, the family's brittle status quo is cracked open. Shirin embarks upon a grand but half-baked quest to restore the family name. But what does that even mean in a country where the Valiats never mattered? Will they ever realize that life is more than just an old story?"--

"A baker provides the sweetest escape for an actor in this charming romantic comedy. Actor Ryan Kwok is back in Toronto after the promotional tour for his latest film, a rom-com that is getting less-than-stellar reviews.

But as he tries to be supportive to his family, he struggles with his loss and doesn't know how to talk to his dad-who now trolls him on Twitter instead of meeting him for dim sum. Innovative baker Lindsay McLeod meets Ryan when he knocks over two dozen specialty donuts at her bakery. Their relationship is off to a messy start, but there's no denying their immediate attraction. When Ryan signs up for a celebrity episode of Baking Fail, he asks Lindsay to teach him how to bake and she agrees. As Lindsay and Ryan spend time together, bonding over grief and bubble tea, it starts to feel like they're cooking up something sweeter than cupcakes in the kitchen"--

Following Jenny Tschieshe's Sunday Times bestselling Air-Fryer Cookbook, this new book offers nutritious and budget-friendly recipes. Each recipe aims to reduce the amount of energy used to cook food by using the air fryer instead of the oven. Using an air fryer can cost from a third to half less than using an electric oven, so the savings could make a big dent in your bills if you swap to this nifty gadget. The popularity of air fryers looks set to last, and why not with its amazing list of benefits not just to the household budget, but for the time-poor cook too. Using an air fryer drastically cuts down on cooking times, making these recipes fantastic for anyone cooking in a hurry too. The recipes in this invaluable book cater for a wide range of tastes and needs, exploring ideas for using cans, jars, and cartons, cooking from frozen, using up leftovers, using cheaper cuts of meat, grains and legumes, vegetable-based dishes, and much more. Jenny Tschieshe's first book taught us that an air fryer doesn't just have to be for beige food, but can be used for all manner of cooking from roast chicken to perfect sweet bakes. Now it's time to take things a step further by focussing on making the most of your air fryer in terms of flavor as well as keeping your energy and food costs as low as possible.
