In this book, we can find recipes (some delicious, many mouth-watering) which have passed into Parsi folklore-originating in ancient times when prepared foods generally went with prayers. This is now, alas, only a memory of a hoary past.

Some of the recipes in this book like Dhansak, Malai na Khaja, Dar ni Pori are typically Parsi. Some others may look and sound familiar like the Kadi or Khichree in Khichree-Sas but in every Parsi dish the style of preparation is different, never too spicy, never too bland. Accordingly, in some of the recipes with otherwise familiar names, the words "Parsi style" have been added: the name of the dish may sound the same, but the mode of preparation and the taste is different. Because Parsi cooking is a manifestation of the Parsi personality–highly individualistic.
