Actually cooking organ meats week after week
Happy new year! I used to be opposed to hiding offal in anything. I wanted to respect and honor it and I wanted offal to be front and center, named and acknowledged. But now it doesn’t matter to me. I’ll serve it anyway, anytime. I am not ashamed of it, I am not exactly hiding it, but if no one asks, I don’t need to assert it anymore. A Hunter’s Pie can just be served. And the same goes for Chocolate Mousse….

Nowruz Mobarak! Happy Iranian New Year!
Today is the vernal equinox; the first day of the Iranian calendar (year 1398) and the first day of spring here at home.
After a warm introduction, the Iranian New Year has become one of my favorite holidays. The solar calendar resonates with me and I love any opportunity to bring many of my favorite Persian foods and spices to our table.
In anticipation, this week we spiced up our Monday night organ meat dinner with Sumac Brain Fritters!…
