I’m in search of cookbook recommendations! After a few disappointing experiences with online recipes, I want to grow my cookbook collection. So far, I have “Dessert Person” and J. Kenji López-Alt’s “The Food Lab,” both of which have provided me with fantastic recipes—especially “Dessert Person.” I’m particularly interested in recommendations for cookbooks that focus on Indian, Asian, or Persian cuisines. Any suggestions?
