1. This book was a gift to me when I left India and my mother's parsi kitchen. The recipes are the most authentic and easy to use recipes I have read in print! If you are looking for something to bring back the lovely memories of your parsi family dinners or simply looking for a delicious creative outlet, this is the book for you!

1. Dr. Martin Haug (1827-1876) a German born Oriental scholar, spent close to 20 years, in India, studying the religion and manners and customs of the Parsis of Western India. His total learning and experiences are distilled in this book, first published in 1878. Since then the book has been reprinted and re-published several times, with revisions done to it by Edward William West, another outstanding Orientalist and a great Pahlavi language scholar. The book is one of the most readable accounts on the history of the Zarathushtrian religion and Zarathushtrian literature encompassing both Avestan and Pahlavi language literatures, and the history of the Parsis of Western India in general. Though succeeded by more informative and massive tomes on the same subjects, this is an excellent book for a beginner, who wants to know something about the Parsis in general. I wish and hope that every Parsi and Zarathuhstrian will give this book their undivided attention and will keep it as a good reference source. It would be difficult to surpass Dr. Haug's account under 476 pages. Readers should be very thankful to the University Press of the Pacific for publishing the paperback edition of this time-tested classic, so that a generation of modern Zarathushtrians can benefit from this nineteenth century account of the Parsis.
