About

Cook aash reshteh, a thick herb and bean soup with noodles featuring tangy and bold whey-based kashk for depth and creaminess. You'll prepare kufteh — meatballs filled with herbs, pistachios, and pomegranate — for a mix of savory and bright notes. You'll make kuku gol kalam, a colorful cauliflower frittata that cooks up tender and aromatic. To finish, we'll assemble tahchin, a savory saffron rice cake known for its crisp golden crust. By the end of class, you'll be comfortable with the techniques behind each dish and ready to bring this cozy Persian menu to your own table.
