Description

"Marina’s home represents the best of who we are - a blend of eastern mehmanawazi
(hospitality) and the western swinging door salon welcome. The invitation is ever present to
all of us who arrive from far corners looking for a familiar and soft landing pad - whether it
is students, senator or diplomats- you make space for all. And, those who are your friends
find a feast at your table - a feast of food and fawning, of conversation and camaraderie -
you bring alive the old world and nothing is more precious. Marina’s magic Zindabad!”
Bimla Bissell of Fabindia
"For over three decades, the Fareed family home in Manhattan has been an oasis for the
South Asian diaspora. Many, like me, have enjoyed an atmosphere of unusual grace and
open heartedness. In ‘You are invited’, Marina shares her recipes, introduces us to an
amazing cast of characters, and lifts the veil on entertaining with simplicity, warmth and
elegance."
Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize Winning Author of ‘The Emperor of All Maladies’
“As far back as one can remember Marina Fareed’s household has been a refuge, a haven,
for family and friends. Everyone is famously met by warmth, hospitality, by the balm of fried
onions. It’s always been coming together, whether over a plate of daal or a seven-course
spread. You Are Invited is a celebration of this special ecosystem, of food and relationships
that span generations.
H.M Naqvi, Award-Winning Author of Home Boy and The Selected Works of Abdullah the Cossack/
