Overview

• Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share With People You Love arrives this week, published by Random House in the U.S. and Ebury Press in the U.K.
• The book marks Nosrat’s first collection of fully developed, traditional recipes alongside essays and hosting guidance.
• Dishes are designed for low‑pretension, communal meals, reflecting Nosrat’s focus on everyday hospitality and her informal Monday night suppers.
• Nosrat traces influences to her Iranian family history and to writers such as Raymond Carver, Annie Dillard and Iris Murdoch.
• She discusses navigating depression after earlier success, returning to medication after experimentation, refocusing on local volunteering and setting clearer personal boundaries during promotion.
