Our author Zarghuna S. Adel author The Best of Afghan Cooking was quoted in this wonderful The New York Times Magazine piece about Afghan chickpea stew by Eric Kim:

"Like most stews, or qurmas, this recipe benefits from a longer cook time, the kind you get from lingering but not hovering. “A typically finished qurma has no extra liquid in it. Afghan stews are thickened by onion gravy once the liquid evaporates,” Zarghuna S. Adel writes in her book “The Best of Afghan Cooking.” This key point — to cook the liquid until it nearly evaporates, until the onions become the gravy — changed my stew game for life."

NEW RELEASE!

A fascinating exploration of a little-known subject--the government-in-exile of Poland which existed in London for over 50 years.

In the wake of the German and Soviet invasions in September 1939, the Republic of Poland’s government re-established itself abroad, first in France, then in the United Kingdom, where it functioned until the fall of communism in Poland. This book provides an English language history of Poland’s Government-in-Exile from its creation in 1939 through the dissolution of the last of its bodies in 1991, focusing on its relations with wartime allies, its loss of recognition in 1945, its postwar mission, relevance, and international reach, and its legacy in post-communist Poland.
