Nature Inspired: Edible Flowers with Chef Sebastian Oveysi (May 28, 2014)

Join host Christine Agro as she chats with Chef Sebastian Oveysi from Amoo's Grill, A Persian Fusion.

Chef Seb is a Persian-American Chef who is passionate about showing the world that Persian cuisine is not just about kabobs and rice, but rather rich flavors, textures, creativity and innovation.

In his culinary creations, Chef Seb demonstrates the complexity of Persian cuisine inspired from different regions of Iran: the spices of the Kurdish mountains, the tropical flavors of the Caspian Sea, and the rich aroma of the desert plains- a cuisine that has come out of the melting pot of the Indo Europeans, the Turks, the Kurds, the Afghans, the Jews, the Armenian Christians, the Mediterranean people and perhaps the Eastern Africans.  These dishes are comforting and flavorful!

On today’s Nature Inspired, Chef Seb and I we'll be talking about using flowers in your recipes. From garnishes to main courses, edible flowers are a versatile ingredient that lend color, texture and an element of surprise to any meal.
