"East to East is more than a collection of recipes. It’s a reclamation, a love letter, and a sharp meditation on what it means to build a life between cultures. Rachel’s food feels grounded in tradition yet alive in the present, inviting us to cook with curiosity, care, and a great deal of pride."―Andy Baraghani, New York Times bestselling author of The Cook You Want to Be
