It's not Parsi New Year, but I do Fancy a Falooda

By now you may have noticed from my blog postings that I'm usually in near reach of a tasty beverage or snack whilst writing, so you may have also guessed I have a slight food fetish... I'll come clean and tell you that it's more of an obsession!!
Today I've been listening to Hidden Kitchens, an NPR series, produced by The Kitchen Sisters who bring inspiring food stories to your ears from the unexpected yet enigmatic underground kitchens across America. This particualr episode, Sugar in the Milk: A Parsi Kitchen Story, was recorded during Parsi New Year in 2008 and features Nilafour Ichapouria King, a Parsi who now lives in San Francisco. Nilafour with her demure measured accent speaks on her Parsi traditions, food and more food, giving a glimpse into this endangered culture.
The mere mention of Falooda has got my mouth watering and I for one will be nipping into the indian supermarket on my way home, to make this nostalgic drink from my childhood (which I now know the origin of). If you like to explore and try food from all over the world then Hidden Kitchens is great for bringing you insights into real food from people's experiences, taking you beyond the usual food fads or conventional hoity-toity food scene.
