Food has a magical ability to tap into our memories. It can carry us to places far-far away or very close to home; to a time almost forgotten or right at the forefront of our memory.
Listen as food blogger and cookbook author, Laura Bashar, shares her memories of Iran, her grandmother’s kabobs, and a Persian stew, dubbed Green Stew by Laura and her bother, with deep roots in her family’s heritage.

Thank you to our Sponsor Bob’s Red Mill for keeping my pantry full of fabulous flours and baking products!
