Food writer, Barbara Ghazarian, is passionate about sharing her Armenian ancestry with others. In 2009, with the publication of Simply Quince, she became known as the Queen of Quince. Now, a few years later, the bounty of quince recipes in the collection are widely credited as establishing the base line for cooking with the near-forgotten fruit in the US and around the globe. Her first award-winning cookbook, Simply Armenian, is in its 3rd printing.
