    Scarily, I can say I have enough copper. Not many people can utter those words.

    The same thing could be said for Le Creuset, but still. Great for braising and soup making.

Welcome!

If you have come here from floraandlfying -more rantings from me, I hope you like it here. We're in the start up phase of operations - so the more I hear from you now, the better.  I hate change orders in the middle of a project. Really!

 I will never promise to be the go to source for anything, nor will I profess that my take on Persian cuisine is correct.  What I say here is about me, my family (with their permission) and my desire to learn all the things that my mom did magically in the kitchen while I was watching the Rockford files and doing my algebra homework.  Later, my excuse for coming over, getting something to go and leaving would be a meeting or a work deadline.


Those meals are some of the best meals of my life.  Those meals are meals that are made with love.  Those are meals I want to recreate at home.  The aroma of steaming rice and a simmering stew when you walk in the door of my parent's house is something that is not be missed.  There is something very complex in the nature of Persian food I have yet to completely understand. 

I hope the next few months we'll all learn something.

I will definitely follow you here, first, because you are you, and second, because I'm all over Persian food and am excited about learning from you.

I've been thinking recently about a new blog, too, as my current one seems to have lost its way. I know almost nothing about Persian food, but am looking forward to reading more.

I've tasted some of you Mom's food and it is delish, and full of
complex flavors. I look forward to your posts!
