A Blog for Your Stories and Recipes

foodmemory.jpg

My memoirs, Wedding Song and Leaving Iran, chronicle my life and those of my family members in Iran. Food is an integral part of these stories.

 

Whenever I read from my memoirs, people from the audience approached me to say they had stories of their own, often flavored by their favorite food. If they could write, they, too, would tell these stories of family members and friends in the kitchen or around the dining table. 

 

Thus the idea was born. I could write these stories for them through this blog. 

 

This website showcases food memories and recipes written by many.
