This week on Out Of Office, Kiernan talks to writer Anissa Helou about her book "Feast: Food of the Islamic World." "Feast" is uniquely compelling for the culturally curious: it's a travelogue, cookbook, and memoir in one volume. Anissa talks about her research across Muslim-majority countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia—plus the best place to get falafel in London.
