Cornelian cherries 🍒 or as we call them in Farsi Zoghāl-akhteh / ذغال اخته is my favorite summer fruit.
These unique cherries with their dark ruby red color have a sour taste..similar to sour cherries.
I don’t remember if we had them in LA? But they sure taste better when eaten in #Iran

Did you know #India has the best #mangoes in the world? Lucky for us here in #Iran, we get ton of this delicious and juicy fruit imported from India.

Since my sister is in love with #mango today after taking her home from the hospital, I’m going to make this no-bake vanilla mango dessert.
It’s a perfect and refreshing summer dessert with no need to turn the oven on.
If you like mango, give it a try and let me know what you think 🍧🍃 #recipelinkinprofile #zozobaking 👇متن فارسي •

I often talk about the pastries from southern parts of Iran, but northern region of Iran equally offers delicious pastries.
Kolouche is a soft pastry filled with butter, cinnamon, cloves, walnuts, & sugar. Kolouche is the best souvenir from Foman, a city located in the North of Iran in Gilan providence.
Kolouche has many varieties, the one that I made today is a soft dough filled with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg , & walnuts.
Watch my Instagram stories as I show step by step how easy it’s to make it at home, specially if you leave abroad or if you don’t have access to the ready made Kolouche Foman .
Full recipe on the blog soon 💕

One of the tricky parts of baking while traveling is that you always don’t find the same exact ingredients.
I’ve been wondering what is the difference between the heavy whipping cream that we use in the states than the ones in Iran.
To my brother’s request, I’ve decided to bake a Swiss roll and taste the homeland products.
To fill the Swiss roll, I used my mom’s homemade #organic #peach #marmalade
Check out my Instagram story to see the whole process, the full recipe will be on the blog soon 🍃🍑🍃🍑 •

What an amazing experience to witness my cousin’s wedding 👰 🎩
In ancient Iranian culture, the couple sit at special seats at the head of the wedding table or Sofre-aghd during the ceremony.

Sofreh aghd is a traditional wedding ceremony spread where legal marriage and ceremonial traditions are exchanged.
This wedding table/ sofreh-aghd is uniquely designed especially for each couple based on their style, however the items on the table are always the same.
One of favorite items on Sofreh is an exotic tray of colors and flavors that is filled with cardamoms, safflowers, roses, orange blossoms, turmeric, hibiscus, hazelnuts, almonds, & Espand.
Have you been to a Persian wedding? What is your favorite item on Sofre-aghd?

Bake with Me!

I approach baking as an art, treating each cookie and pastry like pieces for a sculptural collage. Baking is about following a recipe, yet it is not, it's about fresh and quality ingredients and yet, that isn't enough either. I believe great baking is about having the right attitude and having fun.

It's my joy to share my baking experience with you. I hope that you enjoy and have fun!

I write a weekly blog in both Farsi and English and I invite you to sign up to receive the recipes automatically, so you won't miss any.

Kopoo is a fragrant Kermanian bread, what makes Kopoo so special is the mix of herbs, spices, and seeds that is added to the dough. I made this bread today and will post the recipe on the blog soon.

Meanwhile I invite you to watch my story on Instagram as how easy it is to make this bread.
