Happy Nowruz

Happy Nowruz to all my fellow Persians celebrating the first day of Spring....(20th March 2022)!

Nowruz is the day of the vernal equinox, and marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the first day of the first month (Farvardin) of the Iranian calendars.

As with many celebrations, food plays a big part of the day and Nowruz is no different.

Traditionally the Nowruz feast comprises of herby rice (made with parsley, coriander and fenugreek) and served with sautéed fish (from what I remember it was always some sort of smoked fish) however with being vegan, we have substituted fish with a delicious smoked tofu dish which I am sure you will enjoy.
