To Hamid Joon, as the book said this is For you,
These recipes are made entirely with you in mind. Simple and nourishing, because I know you love food that's clean but never forgetting those sweet treats. Healthy ones for you, and more indulgent ones for when the family gathers. I just want to make you good, honest things that make you feel well.
Then there are the Persian recipes. The traditional ones, lovingly adapted. I like to imagine you growing up, the smells filling the house from Mumma Joon's kitchen, that feeling of always knowing your family was waiting for you when you came home.
I can't restore that history. But I can learn to fill our home with the scents that make you feel like you never left it. I can make them for you now, and for every year after this.
Here on foodformyjoon we have a growing collection of all of our heart's home recipes.
Wherever we are, I want you to feel at home, with me.
With all my love, Bruja
