We invite you to explore the holiday foods from a number of cultures and cuisines, in this favorite from the archive. Faith describes a crispy rice dish she ate while celebrating Persian New Year, and David Kirschner, the recipe creator behind the book Matzo, shares some fun ways with everybody’s favorite unleavened cracker. We’re talking about Matzo Nachos, people! Plus, Connecticut architect Martina Lind joins the party to share her favorite Korean dishes and we pour a glass of Nimbus, a beautiful single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc.
