Your Persian Rice Masterclass
|
With all the turmoil in Iran and throughout the Middle East these days, I find myself making Persian food even more than usual. And, more often than not, that means rice dishes - either as a key side dish or as the main attraction. Below I've compiled some of my key Persian rice recipes from the blog. I've put a lot of work into the step-by-step instructions and tutorials (and, for some posts, even videos) to make these recipes as accessible as possible, even for novice cooks!

As always, feel free to reach out by replying to this email! |

In my opinion, there are few dishes more simple and comforting than chicken soup - but that doesn't mean you have to reach for the nearest can of factory-made soup. (Though, true story, before we got married my husband used to think that heating up the soup he would buy at the local drugstore in college counted as cooking!) Here are a few easy...
Many of you with kids in North American public schools are already starting the school year this week (though my American husband insists that starting the school year before Labor Day in early September should be illegal). If you're the sort of family that likes to pack slightly elevated dishes in your lunchboxes (or in your briefcase, or whatever you take with you to work!), I've got some recipe ideas for you! Here are a few Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-inspired dishes that travel well...
