I am one of those people that food has always played an important role in my life. I would even go a step further to say that I think about it all the time! For me, food is not only an object of glorious sustenance but, also of love. It has been the constant in a lifetime of delicious memories. From my earliest memories of tugging at my mom's apron to traveling the globe, food was something that I experienced not only in diverse but also under the most uniting of situations. What is one of the most loving things that someone can share with a new friend or even a stranger? When people travel abroad, what is one of the first things they can not wait to do when they reach their destination? Food has a way of uniting us, and at the same time, celebrating our differences. It is by no mere coincidence that I can cook nearly every Persian and Indian dish introduced to me in my childhood, or that they remain some of my favorite comfort foods today. Just try to think back on what was your first experience with a different type of food than you were used to eating. I bet you can remember it as if you were just experiencing it today!
So I'm eager to know.......what are some of your delicious memories?!
This blog is inspired by an insatiable appetite for food! Eating food, sharing food and most of all learning about food, will all be topics explored on my blog. So if your tummies are already rumbling you have come to the right place to explore the joie de vivre of food!
