Allah-u-Abha and welcome back!

Today I thought I’d do things a little differently and make a post for all of you fine folks who follow Project Conversion. As you know, the Baha’is just came off their most recent 19 Day Feast on February 7th. Even though the Baha’i Faith is founded upon a global vision, its founder and caretakers were in fact Persian, therefore many Persian influences exists in the culture and norms of the religion. One of these is food.

If you were lucky enough to attend a 19 Day Feast and there was a sizable gathering, chances are there were a few folks of Persian descent around and therefore, Persian food. The 19 Day Feast I attended in the McFarland home boasted many dishes from many backgrounds (including Persian) and it was all fantastic! So I’d like to know from all of you:

• If you attended a 19 Day Feast, what sort of ethnic dishes did you find?
• Recipes for these dishes
• Some information (if available) about the origin/background for the dish

If you have the information above, I’d love to hear from you. Simply go to the contact page, send me the details, and over the next two days I’ll post what everyone has found!

I look forward to seeing all the great recipes. Ready. Set. Send!
