Yasmin Khan: Sabzi

This week, Gilly is with the British Iranian/Pakistani human
rights activist and food and travel writer, Yasmin Khan to talk
about her latest book, Sabzi.


Sabzi, meaning greens and herbs in Persian, the language of
her mother, and vegetables in Urdu, the language of her Pakistani
father, is about how to reduce the amount of meat in our diet
with delicious recipes from the Middle East, Mediterranean and
South Asia. It’s as political and environmental as we’d expect
from Yasmin, but it’s also a book about her ancestors and the
food from their land – as well as a hard-won journey to
motherhood. Gilly finds out why she chose vegetables to
convey such a big story.
