I'm Nozlee Samadzadeh, a writer, editor, farmer, information architect, and passionate home cook. Growing up Iranian in Oklahoma, working on a small-scale organic farm, and cooking on a budget all influence the way I cook -- herbed rice dishes, chicken fried steak, heirloom tomato salad, and simple poached eggs all make appearances on my bright blue kitchen table. I love to eat kimchi (homemade!) straight from the jar and I eat cake for breakfast.
What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
I helped butcher a lamb and got to take home its head! We roasted it with potatoes -- the cheeks were delicious, but no one could bring themselves to eat the brains...
What do you cook when home alone?
A poached egg on toast.
Your most treasured kitchen possession:
My favorite spatula.
The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
6 for a weeknight, as many as possible on the weekends!
