Join us for an exciting exploration of Persian-inspired pies perfect for Thanksgiving and fall. We kick off the episode by sharing our love for the big fall holiday, Thanksgiving, a time of gratitude and family togetherness, and how we blend Persian and American traditions at our holiday tables. This year, we've introduced a new interactive format where each presents unique pie recipes we've developed and shares creative culinary ideas for savory and sweet pies. Our goal is to inspire you to embrace cross-cultural dining experiences, enriching your cultural identity through the joy of food.

Our Ask The Beats segment is inspired by a recent listener interaction who asked us to take a closer look at Shirazi Kalam Polo. We share our personal experiences and tips for making this vibrant cabbage and mini meatball dish a show-stopping addition to any table. Join us as we celebrate the beauty and flavors of fusion cuisine and get ready for upcoming episodes that promise to deepen your culinary journey.
