That herby omelet, wow! I will give it a try (and will use a food processor, no way I'm spending 2 hours chopping herbs! 🀣)

Agree on Jolene's blueberry muffins! I'm not so sure about all that chopping, though: A pound of cilantro! πŸ˜€ I stepped out of my culinary comfort zone when I was in grad school, and started cooking Indian food. I started with Madhur Jaffrey's books, but found many of her recipes unnecessarily fussy. In recent years, I've turned to Manjula's Kitchen online. Manjula Jain is a terrific home cook. It's always good to follow her videos as well as the written recipe (they may vary), plus she's not only vegetarian, but a Jain who doesn't eat onions or garlic. Don't be put off! Her recipes are delicious and practical. One trip to an Indian grocery would get all the spices and pulses you need.

This looks so so yummy. Persian food is my favorite. Can't wait to try!

Oh, Ruth, all of these dishes look so delicious, and I want to get a pair of those scissors! Tell me more about the flavor of kuku sabziβ€”it looks gorgeous. Thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone on behalf of all of us who are hiding from our kitchens (it was 95 degrees in Chicago yesterday πŸ₯΅) and the muffins look beautiful, thank you for the shout-out, I chuckled about a β€˜scientific paper’ about keeping the muffins from turning color!

I'm very impressed with your efforts. During this prolonged heat wave my kitchen creativity has been focused on ways to NOT turn on the stove. Everything looks delicious.

Two hours of chopping? Yikes! That is commitment and raises the expectation bar for the dish. Could you use a food processor or would that chop them too unevenly?

Oh my gosh, all that chopping. Thanks for giving me that big slice of the herb fritta thing. I loved it so much I would only give my husband one bite to taste and all the rest was for ME!
