So I have to say that I love that my mom used whatever index cards she could find for her recipe box. There was a pile of index cards that one of her kids must have put the alphabet on. Never one to be wasteful, she would use the card with the first letter of…

Chicken and Mushrooms – Exploring Mom’s Recipe Box #3
The next recipe I tried from my mom’s recipe box came with the warning “Don’t taste before cooking!” I have to say, that made me smile. A dish that is more than the sum of its parts. As you can see, this recipe is from Stephanie, my sister-in-law. I can definitely date this to the…
My Cookbook is Finally Here!
Just in time for the holidays! “When Kugel Met Tahdig: Foods of Our Persian-Jewish-American Marriage”, has finally been published!
Tah Chin (Persian Rice with Chicken, Saffron & Yogurt) – revisited
I have refined my Tah Chin over the years, now using a Persian rice cooker. The recipe below is still the one I base off of, but always am fiddling at the edges. The moment before unfolding is still always stressful… But now this is what I unmold… I have found that a key step…
Slow Cooker Chicken Marrakesh
We became very well acquainted with our slow cooker during my campaign. A love-hate relationship developed. When a dish worked, it was wonderful. But there were many days when I threw in a whole lot of string spices only to end up with flavorless meat. I was so confused and disturbed. But, we studied the…

I decided to revisit my recipe for joojeh kabob by making it more my own recipe, adding more flavors to the marinade to make it brighter (garlic and lemon). I also wanted to show how to make it in the broiler – which is as easy as making it on the grill. The main difference…
Salad Olivieh
I remember having Salad Olivieh in Iran in restaurants when we travelled into the center of the country. When I asked my husband if he would like me to try making it, he jumped on the idea. Unbeknownst to me, it is one of his favorites. So, the pressure was on. As seems to be…
Barberry Rice with Lemon Chicken (Zereshk Polo ba Morgh)
I decided to try a change of pace for this year’s Persian New Year. Instead of our typical Sabzi Polo ba Mahi (fish with herbed rice), I decided to make barberry rice with chicken. I like citrus-sy chicken, so I chose to do a lemon chicken. The beautiful color comes from saffron and tomato in the…

Roasted Chicken with Jerusalem Artichokes and Lemon
Spring has sprung here in Dover! We even have enough daffodils blooming that I can start having fresh flowers in the house again. I went out to Farmer Kim to pick up some freshly dug Jerusalem artichokes. Getting fresh veggies again is making me so happy! I have been waiting all winter for the Jerusalem…
