Event Overview:

Zaynab Issa, recipe developer and New York Times contributor, joins Elizabeth Jaime to discuss their creative process and Third Culture Cooking: Classic Recipes for a New Generation, followed by a book signing and meet & greet.

Third Culture Cooking is American Cooking: Delicious everyday multicultural recipes, borrowing from our parents and their parents’ homes, melding the old with the new and the familiar with the unfamiliar to create bold flavors and new classics for the next generation of cooks.

The food that author Zaynab Issa cooks—inspired by her East African and South Asian roots, the American suburban delights she grew up eating, and her international travels—is packed with unique and flavorful riffs.

More than a cookbook, Third Culture Cooking offers tips for confident hosting, mindful cooking, and beautifully plated meals. For extravagant entertaining as well as weeknight ease, Third Culture Cooking is a love letter to American home-cooking and the many influences that make it so.

  • French Onion Ramen
  • Samosas Two Ways
  • Chocolate Cake with Chai Buttercream
  • Farzana’s Biryani
  • Thai-Style Crispy Salmon
  • Steak Sandwich with Date Chutney
  • Tandoori Tacos
  • Baklava Granola
  • Banana Cake with Tahini Fudge
  • Chicken Kitchri
  • and many more!
