Do you love unique Persian food but worry about how to find the right ingredients or the time for complicated cooking?
That's where Oven Hug comes in - I teach easy, fast, healthy Persian cooking from the eyes of a family nutritionist
Whether you have Persian roots like me, or simply love the aromatic food of the kings, you've got this!
- how to shop and stock a Persian kitchen
- strategies for preparing for fast, healthy meals
- gifts of joy and balance through healthy eating
- loads of interesting recipes to fuel your day!
Oven Hug recipes are a modern take on Persian food. The majority of the recipes here are low in sugar and high in nutrients.
The goal is to find balance, gain energy, and ultimately to do the things you love!
I run Oven Hug from home offices in California. We spend time in both the SF Bay Area and in South Orange County.
My folks and my in-laws are where it all began for us. They were the pioneers that brought us here from Iran almost 50 years ago! I am beyond grateful they did.
Beyond OvenHug I love to cook (of course!), craft, read, hang out with friends, and spend time with family and our pets.
Thanks for joining our family!
Lets embrace healthy habits one loving dish at a time.
With each recipe I send you a big healthy hug in hopes you will eat, eat well, and eat to your heart’s content, remember your roots, and enjoy every bite!
