Along with The Seed of the Sacred Fig, My Favourite Cake offers a view of a hidden milieu. The inner life of women in Iran. And like The Seed of the Sacred Fig, Maryam Moghadam and Behtash Sanaeeha’s work is an act of political resistance... My Favourite Cake is an act of hope, desire, and a sumptuous treat. It is also sad, furious, and pushing against a regime that stifles basic humanity. Glorious and heartrending.
