About Me

Welcome to my Happy Place!

This is where my passions collide. Food, Flowers, Fashion, Family, Beautiful Things and the influence of my Persian culture that seems to be the poetic filter I see the world through. Read More about “About Me”…

I cooked this cozy, special meal to celebrate the birth of a new family member. It was cold outside but our hearts were warm with the promise of our growing family... In a short while, there would be a new beautiful person at our tables... What a gift!
@azadehmalekan

The meal was enhanced by the culinary feats of my cousin @kamness26 signature garlic confit to enhance the cauliflower mash for the braised short ribs. Another gift.

Dinner ensued with other family members and another delightful experience was etched in memory around the table -- celebrating and honoring #family #tradition and #love ♥️

The Menu:
▫️ Succulent Braised Beef Short ribs w/ rosemary

▫️Cauliflower mash with sous vide garlic confit a la Kam

▫️Baby gem, arugula & cucumber herb salad with tangy Dijon vinaigrette

▫️ Cabernet Sauvignon, noble and complex, w/ a bouquet of dark cherries and cedar to compliment the earthy flavors

▫️ Persian sweets (shirini, as customary to celebrate good news)

▫️ Persian cardamom black tea

▫️ Gratitude for the joys of life, big and small 💫

Radiant Radicchio Salad (here in the elongated Treviso variety) is beautiful and bitter.

But the bitterness can be balanced with fat, sweetness and citrus. Here, dressed with a simple lemon-honey vinaigrette and topped with almonds, pistachios and fresh mint 🍃

Takes minutes to assemble yet it's quite impressive looking and elegant.

I like serving it as an app which can be enjoyed with your fingers, or, bulked up with Farro, creamy feta and orange slices for a more substantial salad or side.
