It's about being together with family and friends, relaxin..

There have been culinary contributions from other cultures that were well received when they made their way into our culture, such as macaroni, Olivieh salad and in the recent years, pizza.

It is said that "salad Olivier" was ..

Kashke-e Bademjan is the quintessential Persian dish. If you haven't tasted it yet, try it. You'll be surprised how tasty this combination of eggplants, whey (kashk), caramelized onion and garlic can be. So simple and yet so tasty. This is also a perfect dish for those that say Persian cooking is too time consuming.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It's all about getting together with the people you love and care about. Spending time together, telling stories, laughing, giving thanks and of course eating delicious food and mouth-watering sweets. Like many Iranians I do add my own Persian cooking touches to the Thanksgiving menu. I feel the meal is not complete if there's no rice to go with it! Out of an array ..

Lentil rice is not considered as a fancy Iranian cuisine and it is not usually served in formal gatherings. However, you can make it for your family, close relatives and friends. That&..
