Pubs: Amey creates a crazycool cookbooklette every year and teaches you how to make your own! :)
The Vernal Equinox is right around the corner, bringing with it a colorful basket of festive celebrations like Nowruz, Holi and Ostara...even Passover and Easter are based on the VE. All of them make this a happy hopeful peaceful season, full of newness and freshness and especially yumful foods! Amey's annual NoRooz (another spelling of Nowruz) feast is a knockout...so many crazyamazing dishes! I've never had the privilege of participating in Nowruz but just say the word tahdig and I'm there! :)
It's also National Noodle Month so how about a bowlful of Persian Noodles? Aash-e Reshteh (or Ash Reshteh) is a thick rich bean and noodle soup that plays a fun part of the Nowruz tradition. The noodles represent the many and sometimes tangled paths of life and untangling the noodles (and of course slurping them up!) brings you good fortune. I love lucky noodles! :)
