Foodie Photo Friday
While checking out all the goodies at Castroni in Rome, I came across a section filled with a variety of salt. The Saffron Salt Flakes immediately grabbed my attention and I had to buy it. I can’t wait to try it. I now have a collection of various types of finishing salts of all colors and types. This love affair with finishing salts is a new thing for me as I grew up with food that was salted moderately. I love how finishing salts can totally up the taste of your food by a good notch!

Greetings! I’ve just stumbled on your site as my mother is far from home and wants her “yakh dar behesht” recipe. Rather than go to her home, scan and email it, I found yours and will google the link, like a good Persian daughter. (This is how much I like your site – I trust it!) I’m also the author of Growing Up Global: Raising Children to Be At Home in the World, where I have a “toolkit” for parents and educators to raise up global citizens. In it I share my parenting experiences, and some stories growing up Persian in middle America in the 1970s, with some of my mother’s culinary adventures that today seem hard to believe, like how odd it was to buy parsley in quantities for making khoresht or consuming plain yogurt.
Keep up your delicious work!

Sounds like you had a great time! Did you ever try the smoked sea salt from Trader Joe’s? I’m sure it’s not as superb as this but for $1.99 I like it!

Brigitta, I have not tried the smoked sea salt from TJ’s but I am now a little obsessed with their pepper and flowers combo!
