Durkhanai Ayubi is an Afghan-born writer. Her work is committed to unmasking false narratives of progress and interjecting with the view from the oft-discarded space of the in between.
Her first book, Parwana: Recipes and Stories from an Afghan Kitchen (2020) received global acclaim. Her new book, She Who Tastes, Knows (2026) is an invitation into a sweeping repositioning of shared identity and possibility, through the abundance and reckonings held quietly in the food and ingredients that shape her life.
