Some cookbooks transport you. Silk Roads: A Flavor Odyssey with Recipes from Baku to Beijing is one of them — and for one extraordinary evening during Traverse City Food & Wine, its author brings it to life at the table.

Anna Ansari is a Metro Detroit native, world traveler, and culinary storyteller whose debut cookbook traces the ancient trade routes of Central Asia through recipes, history, and personal narrative. Praised by food writers for its deeply researched prose and vibrant flavors, Silk Roads has been described as part travelogue, part memoir, and entirely delicious. Anna joins the culinary team at Aerie inside the Grand Traverse Resort for an intimate four-course dinner that weaves the bold, aromatic flavors of her travels into dishes rooted in the extraordinary ingredients of northern Michigan.
