Verified hook fact, article is well written and heavily cited, not seeing any copyvio. Looks good to go! Lithoderm 16:48, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Lithoderm, thanks for the review. Could you take a look at this alternate hook? I feel like this is more interesting and not as wordy. Bridget (talk) 02:12, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - ALT1: ... that Louisa Shafia wrote a cookbook that focuses on local and sustainable eating and contains some recipes inspired by her Persian heritage? Source: Tasting Table review and Asia Society interview.
  - Hmmm, it's good but I feel like it's a bit drier and more matter-of-fact. It doesn't make me want to try the food the way the first one does, you know? Lithoderm 14:46, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yea that makes sense! The original hook it is then. Best, Bridget (talk) 15:01, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
