Dr. Nafisa Sekandari Hosai Mojaddidi

Nafisa Sekandari is an author, psychologist, lecturer, publisher, and mother, currently living in Arizona with her family. Nafisa and her family immigrated from Afghanistan to the United States in 1979. Despite living in the US the majority of her life, Nafisa continues to maintain a close connection to her culture and ethnicity. It was this connection that encouraged the publication of Afghan Cuisine.

Nafisa has written Afghan Cuisine so that even the most novice cook can duplicate authentic Afghan dishes. Many Afghan cookbooks include recipes that are difficult to follow or duplicate here in the West. This book provides easy short cuts and alternative ingredients that can easily be found in the West. Recipes are written in an easy to follow format, making cooking Afghan food easy for the most novice chef.

In addition to "Afghan Cuisine", Nafisa has also published her latest book "Calm Within: Transform Anxiety Naturally With the 3 Step AIM Program" which provides effective and proven solutions for long term control of anxiety. She also has written a book with her daughter titled "Love is Hidden in Small Places". The concept originally was inspired by her then 4 year old daughter. Nafisa and her daughter spent many years collecting heart shapes in every day objects and combined the pictures with beautiful and inspirational quotes about love and romance.

Nafisa also has published a self help journal titled "Steps Towards Gratitude", which includes inspirational quotes to help through lifes journey.
