But it is not really a confession. More like a realisation. A sad and rather disheartening discovery of self, if you may. Okay, here it is:
Chef Anisa is not really a Chef.
Allow me to elaborate, in pictorial evidence. The following are “Chef” Anisa’s recent creations: a Mediterranean brunch featuring shakshuka and cannellini-bean dip, a vegan smoothie bowl (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) and a vegetarian lasagna.
Do you SEE what I’m sayin’? I don’t know how to cook. I just know how to cook three/four meals, anew.
Ah, the shame. The utter downright ignominy of it all. I’m Persian for goodness sake. Where is the saffron? The pistachio nuts, the glistening fried barberries atop the fragrant jasmine rice and the mint fried onions swimming in my ASH*?
New Year’s resolution TWO: cook new stuff.
*Ash is an traditional Persian soup. It is green and chunky and full of the good stuff: legumes, meat, noodles, herbs and spice.
A great French chef would not use tomato.
