Interview | Raising Neem-Roonis- An Interview with Naz Deravian

Raising Neem-Roonis is our podcast series about the joys and
challenges of raising half Iranian children, specifically when it
comes to passing along language and culture. Our first interview
the series is with actress turned cookbook author Naz Deravian,
author of the fantastic cookbook Bottom of the Pot. In addition
to her fantastic recipes, her book is full of anecdotes and
examples of incorporating her American husband and Neem-Rooni
children into the Persian cooking process. After being enamored
with her writing style and recipes for over a year, I had so many
questions for her about her views on the role of culture in her
family.
