About The Author- Parisa Z. Ambwani


I wrote a SERIES OF NINE ENLIGHTENED BOOKS including two significant articles

to inspire parents and children on HOLISTIC HEALTH.


As I was focusing on holistic health, food for the body, food for the mind, and food for the soul, I came to know that eating well and having faith are major factors in our well-being.

Holistic Health is related to two circumstances:

    a) There are so many benefits from eating a “Plant-Based-Diet” with less meat: Organically grown vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains are healthier for gut-health, and better for our planet.

    b) “Universal Meditation” brings "clarity of mind", that connects us to the source of Energy in the Universe; when we become part of this energy it fills us with that joy of inner peace as we celebrate the gifts of Nature. Those gifts nurture our soul; clarity of mind is heightened when body, mind, and soul soar together on wings of harmony.

My quest is to enlighten the world by sharing these ideas in my books on our holistic journey.

My upbringing in Persia (Iran) was deeply influenced by my parents' commitment and dedication to spirituality and philosophy as well as to their service to family and people. As my father said,

"Knowledge, health and a good spirit mold the clay of our character with
confidence and peace."

My preference in comparing with peers always has been to look for higher education and healing power of energy in "Living Nature".

For many years, my companion in America was a small dictionary which I took every place I went (bus, car, airplane, while traveling). Even today, several dictionaries are in front of my desk to search out the root of words I'm writing. We are fortunate to have so many libraries and books available for our educational needs.

At the beginning I was asking people on the street/librarian to correct my writing. I was blessed and happy to have people I did not know helping me improve my writing. There are many wonderful people around us, we just must look for them.

There was no academic school for my holistic culinary ideas except my deep love for international ethnics cooking in a small kitchen lab, where I was enthusiastic and energetic over 30 years on my work developing recipes. And My BA "Degree of Fine Arts from University of Iran" contributed significant artistic design to my culinary presentations as good as food flavor. I hope everyone can find exuberant joy in cooking as much as I do.

As my mother often said, "The heart of our home is the kitchen; mainly family's favorite place and the most remarkable moments take place when we are gathering there".

That's why culinary teachers work hard, with their faith and confidence to improve holistic cooking for our inner strength and immune system vibrancy.

I tried my best to create cookbooks with a new vision of culinary arts and "Philosophical Thought in The Kitchen." The theme in all my books is "food for the body, food for the mind and food for the spirit" that can help with a state of harmony and balance for longevity.

My recent book "USLLN" is related to "Universality of Spirituality" (empower the minds and enrich the future). It is about loving, caring, passionate ideas and wisdom that unified us under one supreme being and our appreciation for having divine gifts as we travel through "Living Nature" for a fabulous journey.

Today I am a menu and recipes developer, herbs and spices researcher, inspired holistic home chef, and author and publisher of nine books in English. For me, it took the actual writing over 30 years for better understanding and inspiration of "inner peace" and by having a good experience from my parents, I came to know my true faith on spiritual freedom. To achieve inner peace, I must have harmony with balanced living nature's energy and honor social environmental health.

I want to share these experiences from philosophical spiritual thankfulness and enlightened culinary teaching with my readers for happiness and freedom. Thus, I can inspire, empower, and educate a wider audience. I believe writing unique cookbooks with spirituality on alternative health can endure a lifetime.

I am always grateful to those people who help me with their love and deep connections encouraging me through my career. Gratitude is a grateful attitude.

I hope you enjoy reading my books with inspiring recipes from around the world and practical mindful thoughts. They were written in simplicity, honesty, with a sense of integrity and a wealth of knowledge.
