Hey, beautiful people! Welcome back to The Medz Mamas!
Host Anoush Bargamian is thrilled to kick off Season 2!
Today, granddaughter Colette Zabo honors her maternal grandmother, Nina. From growing up in Iran to picking wild cherries in Central Park, Colette shares her grandmother's adventures.
Medz Mama Nina, who Colette calls Nina Mama, grew up in Mazandaran, Iran, and moved to Glendale, California, with her family in 1977. She was the matriarch of the family and lived with her granddaughter.
Nina Mama significantly impacted Colette's life, passing down heartwarming stories and family traditions, including Nina Mama's amazing recipes. Granddaughter Colette is also known on Instagram as @cocoinkitchen.
Please visit Coco in the Kitchen to find Colette's family recipes connected to her Armenian roots.
