I just finished watching Julie and Julia and have a new found belief that I can also be a gourmet cook. Growing up in southern California almost every family is a two-income household; that being said, neither of my parents did much cooking. I grew up on take-out, dine-out, and on special occasions home cooked gourmet Persian cuisine.
I survived college on pb&j sandwiches and fries. I met an Anglo-American and we fell in love and got engaged, and continued eating lunchables and cheese sticks. After watching this delightful movie, I have gained the desire to learn to cook. Persian cuisine is typically very pricey and we are saving money for our new home so to enjoy the refined flavors of Iran I owe it to myself to create designer dishes in my own kitchen.
There is no Julia Child for American's to learn create gourmet Persian goodies so I spent hours searching the web finding highly rated Persian cookbooks that I can use in my attempt to be a respected meal maker.
So here's to me, my fiancé's picky taste buds, and my desire to not be teased when I walk into a kitchen.
