This amazing soup is mostly cooked in northern Iran. They serve it with Iranian yoghurt as topping.#iran_cookery

Cooking and eating are interwoven with my life experiences and memories. Although I do not have a collection of cookbooks in my kitchen, I do have a collection of vivid memories from childhood, from travelling, from work, and of the people I’ve met or grew up with. My memories are always combined with and connected to those of certain dishes.I love to tell stories and to cook; in fact, there is a unique connection at a very basic, universal level between the recipes and the stories; between receiving and giving, between biology and psychology. I learned or remembered the tastes of most of the dishes I create by remembering their aromas.My recipes are predominantly Middle Eastern in origin, with others from Latin America and North America, Asia and Africa. In almost all I’ve altered the ingredients somewhat from the traditional recipes to reflect the flavors that have evolved in my version of these dishes over the yearsThis Lebanese soup is a meal in itself if served with bread. It’s a great winter dish as it is very hearty and incredibly healthy. It is also very easy to make.This recipe is taken from my book "Scents of Memory: A Delicious Fusion of Stories and Healthy, Affordable Recipes from Around the World." Please check it out on Amazon

Lentil, spinach and herb salad!

I have always loved lentil soup but always get it in the can. Finally I decided that it was time to make it the way I have always had it. And this recipe is exactly how I like it!

Super nutritious dinner bowl that makes my brain happy! Black lentils pack a whole lot of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and antioxidants. Spinach is a bomb for iron and fiber. Serve with protein of choice.

This is a middleastern recipe and can be as a side dish or a vegetarian main dish. Delish !!

My mom used to make this soup for me whenever I was sick. It would always make me feel better. Makes about 8 cups of soup
