Recipes and Stories by Louisa Shafia

  • Tahdig

    If you like crackly pan scraps, have an appetite for anything extra crispy, or if you prefer your food more darkly tanned than pale, then you must try making tahdig.
  • Persian Shepherd's Pie

    I call this dish Persian Shepherd's Pie because, like the British favorite, it's a one-pot meal that's served up in hearty slices.
  • Stinging Nettle Pesto
