Excuse me, sir, what do chives look like?” are the first words Hilton utters in the series as she navigates a Gelson’s supermarket while wearing a hot-pink gown in search of ingredients to make breakfast with her former closet-organizer, Kardashian West. The menu is a fluffy frittata and Frosted Flakes French toast, topped with a blue glittery marshmallow. Batasais another parsi favorite. Dip the batasa into your tea or coffee for the right amount of time so that it melts in your mouth and explodes with the unique BATASA flavor.

Dhansak is also always had on the fourth day after the death of a near one. There is no meat consumed for three days after the death of a near one. And Dhansak is used to break this abstinence on the fourth day. Thus, Dhansak is never prepared on auspicious occasions like festivals and weddings. The ingredients aren’t always the easiest to find in your average supermarket, but it’s a Parsi cookbook so I don’t expect them to be! I found a lot of the items easily in local Asian stores and felt that the recipes range in difficulty, but a lot of them are fairly simple to follow. The tips at the end, giving extra insight into how to refine a dish and why are also great. There are some recipes I haven’t tried before, and some I have had with my Iranian family- and others I sort of recognise but with a bit of a twist, which is always interesting! So far I’ve tried out a few appetisers and main dishes, but no desserts yet – though they look delicious as well!
