If you haven’t watched Beryl’s episode on herbs then now is the thyme! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Basil-ically, I agree! Thyme is of the essence! 🌿
🔥🔥🔥
It's quite savory and filled with the wisdom of a sage
Did you see her friend, Lantro?
😂
THE HAIR!!!!!!!
Perfect timing for the summer heat!!
It was the first thing out of my mouth when the video started!
The first thing I noticed. I thought “NOOOOOO”. We’ll get used to it, I suppose.
@@Your.Uncle.AngMohI think it looks great
It really suits you Beryl. I love it.
YAY! So glad you liked our picks, Beryl. I had so much fun being in this episode :)
Layla..... why didnt any1 recommend tadig. Thats the only Persian thing i know. From kvon.
In case the non-New Yorkers are wondering, at 14:30 Beryl was comparing the Bastani consistency with "Tasti D-Lite," which is a lowfat frozen dessert chain. Tasti D-Lite does NOT have the glorious creaminess of bastani.
Persian food is amazing. I am so lucky that I can find most of these dishes, despite living on the other side of the country. In the Bay Area, Rose International Market is the place to go for all these delicacies. You can buy their ready-made dishes, which really shine. Or you can buy all the odd specialty ingredients and make it yourself. They even have big bags of dried limes, if you are like Beryl and can't get enough of them.
In addition to the dishes in this video, I recommend koobideh, marinated lamb hearts, goat, foul fatteh, and of course have some Persian tea or yogurt drink with it. I recommend the carbonated version.
Hi! 👋 can you please share where you bought your shirt? It's beautiful 😍
I think the world has been sleeping on Persian food. There is a place in my city, and everytime I go I fall in love all over again with the food. It's amazing and unique.
I envy you! There are no Persian restaurants within reasonable distance from where I live. 😢
I’ve never even heard of Persian food… it sounds like something from ancient times 😂
@@TheKingOfBeans Yes, it does! I hope you get to try it sometime. It’s delish!
@@TheKingOfBeansCooking with Yousef is a great YT channel to learn more about it.
Your haircut is so cute!
before she like older woman but after haircut now she is looks like too young
I didn't know that Persian culture had so much to offer to vegetarians. As soon as i saw first two dishes I googled how to make them.
So much vegan food or easily modified to be vegan food is available. Have fun exploring this lovely cuisine!
Oh! so you should definitely try Mirzaghasemi and Baghalighatogh as well! both vegeterian and could also be made vegan by just not adding eggs to them.
Loving the summer hair! :)
Why do women cheer other women getting less complimentary haircuts?
@@tomhalla426This can't be serious 😂
@@tomhalla426 ok
@@tomhalla426 Why do men think they are the only ones who can dictate what women say and what looks good?
@@Kay_Watermelon Why are so many people who do fashion or hair those who have no interest in women?
There is some sage wisdom in that herb episode.
😂
I see what you did there. ❤
For the herb pun I can’t believe you missed:
“Our herb episode, which in case you haven’t watched, it’s a great thyme !”
I'm sorry you have to deal with such negative and nit picky people Beryl. Your channel brings so much joy and brightness and I love your nerdiness! The production quality is always perfect and you've introduced me to so many unique foods. The community feeling and acceptance you have of others is beautiful and you've made something really special.
*Let the woman eat with a wooden spoon people*!
I love Ravagh! How come not one Iranian person mentioned TAHDIG?!?! Tahdig is a staple of every meal! Next time you are at a Persian restaurant, get the tahdig with Khoreshteh Lapeh! It’s a yellow split pea soup in a tomato based soup. Also, next time you have Asheh Reshteh, add caramelized onions on top. You’ll thank me later.
Yes! So much more vegetarian food than people realise!
LOVE the shorter hair; it's adorable! 💇🏻♀️ I'm on the wooden spoon band wagon, too. It's definitely a texture thing; I converted my 80-year-old mom to them! How about Puerto Rican cuisine? 🇵🇷
I like eating with a spork. Always eat my meals with this multicolored spork. So does my grandson!
Persians really love their saffron don’t they? 😅 I’ve always seen it as a luxury item that is used sparingly. This is just wow. Everything from the rice to the chicken to the dessert had it 😋
Yeah, I think it's a crop that grows really well there, I've tried several types of saffron, and the persian stuff is so intense. It's always my first choice if I can find it, so I get why they celebrate it.
Adding saffron and adding fresh herbs are both ways to show you have $$ for luxury foods in that part of the world. Fresh herbs in the desert?
We Iranians are a generous bunch, so if you come over we will give you the best (and the most expensive) food we have to offer.
After watching a lot of middle eastern cooking, I'm wondering if that brilliant yellow doesn't come from Turmeric? Saffron to me looks a bit red/orangy. Not that it couldn't be "saffrony". I love Turmeric and add it to my rice all the time, as it is a good anti-inflammatory, which helps my arthritis.
Yes, well Zaffron was first grown in ancient Persia , ( still grown in the khorasan province) and even the name Zaffron is Persian ( Zarparoon)
Love the new hair! I think Im going to have to try that barberry rice! It looks so delicious
I didn’t even finish the episode before ordering. I got the eggplant dish, the noodle soup and the saffron rice. Amazing!
Ooooh I wish I could do that! Unfortunately there are not a lot of options available here.
@@anna8282 I live in the Middle East so that helped
I just KNEW the fesenjan would be a walnut game changer! It's the only walnut dish I'd actively seek out.
(Loving the hair by the way 👌)
Hi Beryl
Your hair looks gorgeous 😍
I'm so glad and proud you enjoyed our Persian food ❤
In Iran we have all of those stews over berenj (rice) ,also we sometimes eat the kebabs with rice too! I really hope you try them over rice sometime, especially the stews😉
I love Persian food so much! It's definitely in my top three favorite cusines. I've had all the dishes in your vid (and more 😂), and everything is just gorgeous and full of flavor. It's really hard to pick favorite dishes, you really can't go wrong with any. It's especially nice for me now, because I went vegetarian last year, and I can still make/order tons of Persian dishes and never feel like I'm missing out. 😋
i have a persian friend.she came to my country[srilanka] for stay 2 years.i learn from her many things about iran.actually iran food is very tasty and healthy🤩
love your hair :) it looks really pretty
My best friends are Persian and I felt proud because I recognized all of these dishes. ❤🎉
I don't like walnuts either but Fesenjan is one of my favorite dishes! Its sweetness can vary greatly depending on the restaurant/family/region so you get what you get. I'm a bit disappointed when it's sweeter than I like but it's such an excellent flavor. I'd been planning to replicate it at home and still haven't after several years but I'm now re-inspired!
Persian food is the absolute bomb. Ash-e-reshte, zereshk polo, fesenjun, ghormeh sabzi, tahdeegh, just incredible. I get all of it vegetarian, you don't need the meat!
Totally agree, I'm not strictly vegetarian, but I can go weeks without meat sometimes without really noticing. I have a veggie version of all the persian dishes I make, some traditionalists would call vegan ghormeh sabzi, or fesenjan with veggie meatballs, heresy, but I love it.
The barbarries are generally rehydrated with a touch of sugar. If you try them plain, they are a ton more sour than cranberries.
You should do a Bengali food for both Bangladesh and West Bengal (state in India)
FESENJAN MY BELOVED. One of my dearest friends is Persian and made us fesenjan when we visited him and I've been obsessed ever since.
Oh my GOSH there was a Persian restaurant in my hometown years ago - I still miss it, and the sour cherry soda they had that I've never managed to find again. SO unbelievably delicious. Cheers, Beryl and community!
Ghorme Sabzi and Fesenjan aren't really "stews" meant to be eaten on their own, but "khorests," which means they are traditionally served with (Basmati) rice. At least, that's how I know it.. Anyway, great episode, Beryl! 👍
Thanks for the honorable mention of Faloodeh. I loved it SOOOO much the one time I had a version of it and still think about it 4 years later lol
Love the new hair! You look super cute :D Thank you for spreading all of these delicious cultural dishes with everyone and bringing us all closer together.
I'd love to see an exploration of your wooden spoon collection... Where you got them, what began your collection journey, and if you have ambitions to collect more! You could start a new series called Spoon Stories.
Also, thank you for sharing your culinary and cultural adventures. I find them to be really inspiring.
I had a Persian neighbor with a German wife, and they always had the most AMAZING food!
I know why it is the case, but all the guests not living in Iran but elsewhere is a bit sad. Thanks for sharing your culture with all of us! All the dishes looked so amazing, can't wait to try!
I think it's great that even if they don't live in the country, they are still connected to their culture. I don't live in the countries of my heritage but my grandmothers taught me about the food!
Setareh from the video here.
Even if Beryl's call for contribution to the episode reached the people in Iran, they wouldn't be able to contribute due to bad internet connection and TH-cam being banned. It's very sad.
@@setarehsh97 TH-cam maybe banned, but that alone does not stop people. I've actually come across 2 different TH-cam channels by Iranians in Iran, so I'm sure there's probably multiple factors for not getting someone in Iran to send a video.
When Beryl declares "Nobody come at me for my spoon....so.. lemme live my life, you don't have to eat with a wooden spoon", she is just showing her passion for tasting goood fooooood ! your hairstyle is just amazing, can't wait for more summer Foodie videos 😍
I generally assumed it was a sensory thing - the clink of metal on teeth, or how quickly metal heats up, aren't an issue with wood
Here in Germany, we have a channel about persian food called Butterbrötchen. And I bet she speaks english, too. She might be a great source of information for a persian cooking episode.
Btw: when you look up the history, Persia was sooo vastly large in former days!
For your walnut espisode: The cherry chocolate loaf by Chef John is amazing! Just use sour cherries from a jar. Makes it even faster to make and the cherry aroma is more pronounced.
Love this episode! Thank you for bringing the world together through sharing food from different cultures, Beryl!
As a persian, I totally love all the choices in this episode! So glad they were represented here. If possible to eat at a restaurant and get hot tea to complete the experience too! Other suggestions: Dolma, Tahdig (this is an important part of the rice and food sharing experience), Sabzi polo, for kebabs always Chelo kebab (you need the sumac flavor), another possible vegetarian stew is Gheymeh (it is often cooked with meat but can be just with vegetables) and this is my childhood comfort, and for desert Zoolbia and Bamieh.
I know there were several comments for ghourmeh sabzi in your shout out for herb recipes, but it is a shame no one reached out to send you recipes! Herbs are such an important part of Persian cuisine, that whole fresh herbs are placed on the table with cheese as an appetizer/accompaniment to go with a meal. It is called sabzi khordan.
How interesting, had to google sabzi khordan. I love fresh herbs!
I'm sorry I missed this shout out!! I am an NYC based Persian and can a THOUSAND percent provide this!!
In my opinion Persian food is in the top 3 best foods in the world. There’s so much flavor and variety.
And it’s sad it doesn’t get more recognition and exposure.
There used to be a Persian restaurant fairly close to where I live, and I discovered so many wonderful dishes there. My favorite was Khoresh Bademjan, which was offered with meat, and as a vegetarian dish. It was the first time I had a dish made with dried lemons, which are not really intended to be eaten but, instead, perfume the dish with a wonderful aroma.
Not meant to be eaten? Back in Iran, there were 4 or 5 of us that used to fight over those lemons, lol... and I'm not even persian 😂
Hi Beryl, Parnian here from your snack episodes. You actually made and tried Kashke Bademjoon in your snack episode instructed by me :D You made it with fresh mint and yogurt as far as I remember.
Thank you so much for introducing Persian food to the world ❤️
Omg that’s amazing!!!
haha I remembered your recipe and I thought I was going crazy when Beryl said she hadn't heard of it! 🤣
What's missing from the Joojeh is the Must o khyiar (Yogurt sauce) just a small drizzle on that bite is incredible.
Ok unrelated to the food today but I love your new haircut!! Beautiful!! Really cute!!
Now I need to see if there is a Persian restaurant around here because that is a cuisine I have never tried. I'm full from lunch, but watching this made me hungry. I could probably demolish a pot of that rice dish. I had never heard of barberries before finding this channel, but if they are like cranberries I would eat them, lots of them. Everything on this video sounds delicious.
Your hair looks gorgeous Beryl ❤ I love the rice sticking to the pot's bottom. My dear friend from Israel was exiled from Persia, and she shared this dish with us on a Shabbat dinner.
Persia, the restaurant near to where I live in England, is possibly my favourite place to eat out. So many of the things you had are on the menu. Their Kashk E Bademjan dip and Zereshk Polow rice are so nice you could literally buy and eat a portion of them with nothing else and still be very happy. Loved this episode and it's made me very hungry!
About the spoon: I hear ya. You got me into wooden spoons, and I love it. It IS a texture thing!! 🙈💕
I could live on just Ghormeh Sabzi and plain white rice for the rest of my life.
Honestly, that's probably a fairly balanced diet if you add some yoghurt and a shirazi salad lol
I adore Persian food SO MUCH! I might have a slight gormeh sabzi obsession... Glad you enjoyed it!
Your new hairstyle is perfect, Beryl.
Beryl.... I think you should do an episode on southern Indian food. As I'm sure you know, most Indian restaurants in the US serve primarily northern cuisine, but the people deserve to know how good idli and dosa are!
She has already done it
Live your life. Love your life, Beryl! Speaking of loving, your new hairstyle is lovely! Thanks for all you do in bringing cultures together. Thanks everybody who shared for this episode. ❤❤❤
Was waiting for this episode! Thank you so much for this! It means a lot!
Also, love your haircut ❤
That rice dish looked glorious! Your hair looks cute, by the way. And I loved that the gentleman who contributed to this collab had a map of LI behind him! I’m from Babylon originally and all my siblings and I have that map and grew up in our parent’s home with one on the livingroom wall. Lol.
For a good chunk of my childhood i grew up with a lot of Persian families connected to my family, and potlucks were a regular occurrence, meaning i was spoiled with this amazing cuisine! If you haven't tried it and get the chance, I'd encourage you to make it a top priority! 😊
Seconded! I ended up living in Iran for a few years and learned to cook most of these, I'm still making them almost 30 years later...
@@TheCagedCorvid wow, you had a much more immersive experience obviously. The Iranians I knew were just friends through my step-father, and from living in the greater DC metro area.
@JeiElRai Immersive is one word for it, I was married to an Iranian man, and I ended up kind of stuck there... I didn't think I'd ever get back to the UK, but I made the best of it, and in the end, my father in law helped me escape. He saved me and my son, but I do have some fond memories (the marriage itself not withstanding), gorgeous landscapes, architecture, some wonderfully kind people (as well as some awful ones, but that's humanity wherever you go). I treasure my experience there despite the circumstances, and it does sadden me that I can't go back.
What an excellent video!! I know nothing about Persian food, so this is great info! I think food we cook, share with each other is truly one of life’s biggest blessing!
As a persian in the nyc area I can confirm Ravagh’s food is legit!
Fesenjon and ghourme sabzi are stews that should be eaten with rice.
Such a sweet epidose, thank uuu
Tha Fesenjoon and Ghormehsabzi are supposed to be eaten with rice (most common) or bread (less common). They'd be kinda too strong without the company of a carbohydrate.
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast! I love Persian food and I love Beryl! Also, her haircut is super cute!
If you can find a good Persian buffet, go. Try everything. I used to work for a Persian family as an admin and my boss often took me along on business luncheons at a very elegant buffet that he loved. He would order extras of this & that for the table and send me home with the leftovers. I miss those days.
I think Persian food and I think of yogurt and cucumbers and mint.
Yep, I could dip cucumber spears into a mint yoghurt and it would definitely take me back there
Its a cold Persian soup .
@Light_spot_ I remember it now! That's why... can you tell me what it's called so I can look it up please? It's been a very long time...
@TheCagedCorvid It's called Abdoogh khiar .There are various recepies here on YT if you look it up.
Hello Persian food. The top spots for the cuisine are in northern NJ such as in Ridgewood (which has 4 restaurants and a Persian market) but Ravagh is pretty good. If you ever want to buy the spices used in these dishes, Kalustyan's sells most including dried barberies. They also sell a brand of Persian ice cream made in Cali.
Haircut is beyond adorable! Great episode!
looooove your haircut ✨️
Persian cuisine is the most surprising cuisine in the world to me, I would not expect how fantastically sour everything is. I love it.
Kashke bademjan is my favorit. A persian place near me serv it also as a main with saffron rice as a vegitarian option. Love that one
I must try these wonderful looking dishes! Thanks to all the contributors!
You are just a pure joy. 😊
Love your hair! Thank you for your great videos!
This is consistently my favorite series you do! I love learning more about the flavors and techniques and dishes of a particular culture.
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this episode for so long! We have so many other delicious dishes you should try!
That bowl you put Khoresh Fesenjan in is gorgeous.
The episode I've been waiting for 😍😍😍
A complete episode on Persian food. I'm in love! Joojeh kebab was my favourite.. and the ice cream!
This one was just so FUN!!! So many of these I really need to try!
I was amazed not to see gormeh sabzi in your herb episode so I'm glad it made an appearance here! All of these looked delicious 😋
Same, I swore I saw it in the comments of a post, or I'd have recommended it myself, it's one of my absolute favourites
Such an eye opening episode. Definitely trying the soup!
Absolutely recommend 👌
Persian food is absolutely delicious!!!! I love to cook it all but Kufteh, Dolmeh, Sabzi Kuku, Fesenjen, Ghmeieh, and Sholeh Zard are my favorites to cook and eat!!! 🤤😋
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh first! love you Beryl!!! Love Persian food :D
Can't wait to see you do Singapore food one day ❤
Your hair looks so cute!!! Also I love Persian culture! So excited for this ❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic review!!
Great new do! 🤩
I'm so glad you liked the food!
I grew up with Iranian parents so this video was very fun to watch and reminded me of dinners growing up.
Fesenjan is hands down my fav./comfort food dish and make it for friends often.
Amazing new look! Loving it!❤
I love Setareh's shirt. She's got great taste in music, Insomnium is an awesome band.
Setareh from the video here, thanks for the compliment :D
Love the haircut on you! Also, I am so glad you liked Persian food! I am Persian American and I am a foodie (love good food of any country's). But I always say if I am stranded on an island and am given the same food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the rest of my life, please give me Ghormeh Sabzi! All the recommendations are great. Your team did you good. The barberry rice goes so well with chicken stewed in sauteed onions and turmeric.
another absolute banger of a video, as usual
Everything looks sooo good.
Oh yes…love the hair!
Love Persian food!!😋. I have a recipe for the Chicken with walnut and pomegranate, from an old recipe book of middle eastern dishes from the 1970's. But sure the recipe is much older. It's one of my favourite dishes. But my cook books are packed away since I moved last year. Good reason to get them out! 😋😂 . Beryl, your new hairstyle looks lovely ! 😁
I love that you use wood! People biting metal utensils is worse than chalk boards for me
I love your videos so much. ❤❤❤❤
Persian!!!! So much delicious stews!!!! My family's favorite is eggplant stew. ❤ That part of our family is from Shiraz.
Yum!! Love your haircut!!
❤love your :ideas and hair!
Beryl, you bright my day! thanks :) Cheers from Argentina. Fede
Thank you so much for this episode FINALLY!!! One of my grandfathers is Iranian and I have always been interested in learning more about my ancestry
