  Anna Ansari ’98 Brings Silk Roads to Michigan

  Anna Ansari ’98 recently returned to Michigan for a special event celebrating the release of her debut cookbook, Silk Roads — A Flavor Odyssey, at Zingerman’s Roadhouse in Ann Arbor. The evening featured an on-stage conversation with Zingerman’s co-founder Ari Weinzweig and a tasting menu inspired by Anna’s recipes, featuring dishes from Georgia, Iran, and Tajikistan. Alumni, friends, and family gathered to celebrate her achievement and enjoy a taste of her culinary journey on her book tour stop in Michigan. She also had a chance to get her feet back on Cranbrook soil—a stop she describes as “mandatory” whenever she’s home, a way to recenter herself and reconnect with the place that sparked her early creativity.
