Natasha's Persian Food Love Story

Melody Hossaini's Persian Food Love Story
“Every culture has its love language. I would say in Persian culture it's connection. We like to FEEL connection to others: to talk, debate, to cry, to laugh, share our feelings, thoughts and ideas.” 99% of this happens at the table, over meals and chai.”
