What do you do when you’re craving pie in the fall (could have fooled me, Los Angeles) and want to snack on dates at the same time? Combine them of course, into a rustic Middle-Eastern style pumpkin pie made from scratch. Considered to be the candy of the Middle East, dates have been cultivated around [...]
The Big Picture: Food in Armenia, Part II
In Armenia, food is not only an integral part of the culture, but of the landscape as well, where you can find the most coveted of edible treasures not in top rated restaurants, but in the streets. From the sweet bread baked in the homes of women with a lifetime of stories to tell, to [...]
The Big Picture: Food in Armenia
Armenian cuisine is a smorgasbord or smells, flavors and textures that carry a great deal of cultural importance.

Contentment of the Throat: Armenian-Made Turkish Delight
Two years ago, Armand Sahakian was looking for a job that would allow him to spend more time with his growing family, a desire his full work week as director of catering and restaurants at the Santa Anita race track didn’t exactly accommodate. But the last place he expected to find one was at a [...]
The Khohanotz: Za’atar
Where the French have cheese and wine as a classic, simple meal that satisfies at any time of the day, Middle Easterners have the pungent mixture known as Za’atar, which experts argue traces its root back from Ancient Egypt to Arabic medieval times. Generally eaten with Manakish (also known as Manaeesh), a doughy Lebanese bread, [...]
The Khohanotz: Faloodeh
Among the many things that remind me of the hot Los Angeles summers of my childhood, Faloodeh is perhaps the most symbolic. Summer in a tub, as I like to call it. Known as one of the earliest frozen deserts (The Encyclopedia of Jewish Food by Gil Marks dates it back to at least 400 [...]
Armenia’s Raw Food Vegan: 90-year-old Vaghe Danielyan
He’s an ex-prisoner of war, hasn’t seen a doctor in 40 years and recently crossed over to his 90s, but raw vegan Vaghe Danielyan is as strong as ever.

London’s Hidden Treasure: Yalla Yalla, Beirut Street Food
If you walk too briskly in the streets of Soho in London’s West End, you are more than likely to miss the hidden treasure known as Yalla Yalla, a packed Lebanese restaurant where you can relax in a calming atmosphere framed by Arabic-painted walls, while indulging in the comforting delicacies of Middle Eastern street food.

Armenia Gets a Taste of Mexico With Taco-Maco
I’ve been living in Yerevan for the last four months. Originally from Los Angeles, I came here to work voluntarily through Birthright Armenia. I’ll miss a lot of things about Armenia; being surrounded by Armenian culture, my new friends, and tacos. Wait…what was that last one? Tacos? Yes tacos, something readily available in overwhelmingly delicious [...]
Paska: Discovering Diversity in Easter Bread
As Easter rolls around, the number of eggs in my house tends to increase by the day. Brown ones, white ones, organic ones, free-range ones, they pile up one by one in the inconspicuous refrigerator drawer, and while this may seem normal for the general population, these eggs will not be dyed in brilliant shades [...]
