"There are similar recipes on Zaar but this is our absolute favorite version. It is a very delicious Iraqi rice dish that can be served as a bed of rice for other dishes such as Saudi Chicken Stuffed With Rice & Meat (Dajaj Mashwy) or roast lamb or as part of a buffet. DH asks for this at least once a week as a whole meal with yogurt and a fresh salad! You could add frozen peas near the..."

"This beautiful traditional Persian dessert is now a favorite of ours. This version is not overly sweet.

"This was the first time I ever made custard-based ice cream, and it was delicious! The rose water and saffron go great together, without overpowering each other. I doubled the original recipe, since most ice cream machines need at least 4 cups of liquid (also because my family gobbled it up in no time!)."

""This Indian-inspired dish is very easy to prepare, but the rich, complex sauce suggests otherwise. Serve it with butter-basted, roasted butternut squash and basamite rice seasoned with peas and butter. Rich creamy Fage brand yogurt, originally imported from Greece, is perfect for this dish."
