This book is Uyghur-American Gulmira Propper's loving tribute to her mother and her masterful Uyghur recipes--a colorful collection of quintessential Uyghur dishes including hand-pulled noodles, lamb, pilaf, and more. Gulmira and her mom, Parida, are from Urumqi, the capital of the Uyghur region of central Asia, once a major port on the Silk Road, and home to a minority Turkic ethnic group, the Uyghur people. When Gulmira was a child, her family left the Uyghur region to seek a better life, resettling in Japan and ultimately in Nashville, Tennessee.Today, with the gross human rights violations of the Uyghur people, the preservation of the Uyghur culture is more important than ever. These recipes can hopefully help the world get to know the Uyghurs and the flavors of their cooking, and above all, keep the culture alive.
