Get ready for the biggest holiday in the Persian culture by spring cleaning your kitchen, home, and mind! Persian New Year, also known also as Nowruz or Norooz, marks the beginning of spring and is celebrated around the world.
In this episode, we’ll give you the tools to tackle “Khooneh Takoni” spring cleaning through your house and life, and prepare for a clean slate to start the new year off on. The beginning of the year is about renewal, a fresh start, and hope for a bright future.
We’ll share an overview of the Nowruz/Norooz season, covering off traditions and rituals to get us ready, how to celebrate the actual event, including what to eat, and the grand final nature picnic on the 13th day after Nowruz.
Green foods are the staple for this occasion and we chat about our favorite dishes and how to serve them.
