Join us for a fun conversation as we explore the stunning and symbolic Persian Love Cake. Learn how to make it using Bita's recipe from scratch, or Beata's shortcuts for an easy version. We customize with flavors of almond, cardamom, saffron and rosewater and include modern twists and tips to inspire you.

In the second half of the episode, we chat about Food as an expression of Love, especially in Persian culture, and also what we've been eating lately. We get personal about our gut and what some of our comfort foods are.
