Celebrate Persian New Year with green recipes and spring cleaning
CNN
Reset your year with green dishes filled with fresh herbs and a clean home for the Persian New Year, also known as Nowruz.

These two cookbooks from Khan inspire and provide a window into the cultures and stories of people from the Middle East through food. Khan's latest work, "Ripe Figs: Recipes and Stories from the Eastern Mediterranean," will be published on May 4.![](/newspic/picid-6252001-20250215004209.jpg)
