The Faux Gourmet: Correction:

Presenting The Faux Gourmet!

The Faux Gourmet has been on hiatus for a while. I began this blog as a creative outlet during law school. After law school, I started other blogs on other topics and no longer needed this as a creative outlet, not to mention my diminishing free time.

But I kept cooking, kept taking food pictures and garden pictures, kept wanting to share the little tidbits of what I'd made. I occasionally did this on my personal blog (to which, I'm sure, people yawned and wondered when I'd post another cat picture). But I started to miss this space. Of all the blogs I have, this format, culled over several dedicated years and incorporating that adorable illustration by Sam Wedelich (see info the left) is by far my favorite.

So I'm back!

Expect short and sweet posts. Less food porn, more recipes and tips. If you want food porn you can look at any of the 5000 million existing food blogs. I don't have good lighting in my apartment and don't have time to style plates. I just want to make something yummy and eat it. If that sounds ok with you, stick around.

Looking forward to being back in touch!

Re:Persian Food

Thanks to my friend, D, for providing an update on the Persian food entry from July.

D says the the rice dish with tumeric, chicken and something like cranberry should in reality contain saffron instead of turmeric. Restaurants sometimes use turmeric instead of saffron, because saffron is expensive and turmeric makes the rice color better, but he doesn’t think they should be allowed to get away with it. The dried fruits my friend didn’t know the name of are currants.

Hopefully D will show me some good Persian food in NYC soon, and I'll be back with a more informed update and better photos. Stay tuned!
