Cooking With Mahtab

I bothered my 85 year old Iranian grandma for 7 years with a kitchen scale until she let me write down every single recipe now I’m giving away the entire collection for free (no catch)

My grandma never measured anything. Everything was a handful of this, until it smells right add salt until your ancestor whispers it’s enough.

I followed her around for years like a stalker with notebook and scale. She hated it but eventually gave in.

These are the real recipes the 3–4 hour ones, the ones with real dried limes that turn black the regional stuff that’s dying out and every family secret she swore she’d take to her grave

After 7 years and hundreds of ruined dishes, I turned every single recipe into its own little beautiful cookbook each one has the full story, exact measurements I forced out of her, step by step zero Western shortcuts.

The whole collection is completely free (pay what you want, including 0) Here’s the shop link with all of them: ko-fi.com/foodsecretsiran

If even one person makes my grandma’s tahchin and gets that perfect golden tahdig, I’ll consider the annoying 7 years worth it. Please drop a photo if you cook anything, I show them all to her and she still critiques the color of the rice
