I’ve been trying to get out to Sparks to go to Parisa’s forever - for my readers not here in Reno, we’re talking abouta 10-12 mile round trip - and I just don’t have any reasons to go out that way anymore. However, that’s going to change.
Many years ago, in another life in Salt Lake City, I had a lot of close friends that were Persian, and one friends mother, Monir, sort of took me under her wing as the daughter she never had. We cooked a LOT. We cooked a LOT of great Persian food. Monir had been a ‘lady in waiting’, or something close to that, to the wife of the deposed Shah of Iran, and was particularly skilled in cooking and entertaining. Her parties and courtly cuisine were legendary.
That’s how I came to know and love Persian cuisine.
