Today's Episode: Yasmin Khan

This week, we're excited to welcome Yasmin Khan to SALT + SPINE, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks.

Yasmin is the author of two cookbooks: The Saffron Tales: Recipes from the Persian Kitchen and Zaitoun: Recipes and Stories from the Palestinian Kitchen.

We sit down with Yasmin at our studio in San Francisco's The Civic Kitchen Cooking School to discuss her cookbooks, traveling through Israel and the West Bank to chronicle Palestinian cuisine, and her love of pomegranates. Plus, as always we check in with Celia Sack at Omnivore Books in San Francisco.

Bonus Salt + Spine Features on our website:

• RECIPE: Mussakhan (Roast chicken with sumac and red onions)
• EXCERPT: Hear Yasmin reading from Zaitoun.
