This week, I’m bringing back a favorite episode — a rich and delicious conversation with Sahar about Persian food, culture, and what life in Iran is really like beyond what most people ever get to see.

We talk about everything from sour stews and rice bellies to tahdig, kebabs, Nowruz traditions, and Sahar’s experience growing up in Tehran. You’ll learn about the incredible diversity across Iran’s regions — and yes, we even touch on controversial dishes involving sheep’s heads and yogurt drinks.

Sahar is warm, hilarious, and generous in sharing what Persian food means to her — and I walked away hungry and more connected to a place I knew very little about.

Whether this is your first time hearing the episode or you're tuning in again, I hope it leaves you curious, comforted, and craving saffron rice.

In this week’s solo shorty, we’re going global and nostalgic.

I’m ranking my favorite Italian cheeses, reminiscing on iconic snacks from the 1990s, and sharing a few surprising nuggets of food etiquette from around the world — including why you should never break your spaghetti in Italy, when it's okay to slurp your noodles, and how eating with a spoon can actually change your life.

It’s a little nerdy, a little nostalgic, and very, very food-loving.
