| Introduction | Donia Bijan is the author of Algonquin Book's popular food memoir, Maman's Homesick Pie: A Persian Heart in an American Kitchen. Since closing her restaurant, L'Amie Donia, in 2004, Ms. Bijan has divided her days between teaching and writing a memoir where she reimagines her passion for cooking as a vessel to travel back and forth between the kitchens of her childhood and the formal kitchens of her training, illuminating the experience of exile, and drawing from her Persian, French, and American pantry to thread ties between cultures. Her debut novel will be coming out in Spring 2017 from Algonquin. |
