Apples in Persian Cuisine and Culture

It’s almost fall and the Beats have apples top of mind!  Bita & Beata explore the role of apples in Persian culture, some of the symbolic meanings behind the representation of apples in traditional sofrehs (table settings) and occasions, and of course how apples are used in Persian cuisine.   This week’s “Ask the Beats” takes a peek into what Bita & Beata make for dinner that’s not actually Persian!    Episodes referenced: Episode 51:  Mehregan   All Modern Persian Food podcast episodes can be found at: Episodes Co-host Beata Nazem Kelley blog: BeatsEats – Persian Girl Desperately Addicted to Food!
