Welcome to the first episode of 2024, where we're embracing a fresh start with a healthy twist on Persian cuisine. Listen in as we, Bita and Bita, share our New Year's resolutions, including being more present with our loved ones and pursuing exciting professional opportunities. We're also thrilled about our new monthly podcast format, which allows us to create even richer content for our listeners. If you have a passion for Persian culture, join us on this journey—we're on the lookout for an intern to help bring our vision to life.
This episode is a celebration of Persian food's nutritious heart, especially post-holiday when many of us are looking to detox and achieve our health goals. Discover how dishes like khoresh and the traditional herb frittata kookoo (kuku) sabzi can be made healthier with simple cooking tweaks. We also explore the power of Persian spices, like saffron and turmeric, and how they can be integrated into our daily routines for their incredible health benefits. Plus, we answer a listener's question about these spices, sharing personal insights and unique ways to incorporate them into our cooking. Tune in for a wholesome start to your year with us.
