Eden Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Maybe this place? http://www.yelp.com/biz/persepolis-specialties-bellevue Pretty sure that's not it, but it's good to know there's a new Persian Grocery Store in that area. I still miss Pars Market - they were wonderful! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 How is Kabul these days? I always loved it but I haven't been in years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eden Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Still excellent - I don't get there often enough either, but a friend wanted to go somewhere "different" for his birthday Really the only thing that's changed is the bread which, per the waiter, is now actual traditional Afghan style thin bread (from the mystery bakery) rather than lavash.

Lauren Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 We had yet another excellent dinner at Harvest Vine the other night. One of the dishes was "Pluma Iberica... a special cut from the pata negra pig." I found a definition of Pluma Iberica "This cut comes from the shoulder section of the loin with more fat; therefore more tasteful even than the loin. It is thought that the shape and size is similar to a feather or pluma in Spanish." And I found this article about pata negra coming to Seattle: http://www.seattlemet.com/eat-and-drink/articles/iberico-de-bellota-arrives-in-seattle-october-2012 Any idea of where I could find some in Seattle? I'd really like to try cooking it myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
da goose Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I was speaking to the waiter at Kabul on Saturday and he told me there is a bakery in the Totem Lake/Kirkland area selling not just Afghan style breads, but Persian and eastern European breads as well. Unfortunately he couldn't recall the name, and I'm not having luck with my Google Powers today, so I'm hoping someone here might know the place? I think he said it was near the 116th st exit... http://www.yelp.com/biz/old-country-bakery-bellevue ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will have to go check it out, thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eden Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 yes, Old Country Bakery is what I was looking for. I picked up a loaf of Persian barbari bread as well as a bag of lavash, and if I hadn't just come from a big lunch I'd have been tempted to buy more of the lovely breads and pastries in the case. Next time... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 http://www.dolcetta-sweets.com/about/ Are you guys familiar with this? Do you know her? She's on one of the food boards that split from CH and sounds interesting - especially her history with dumplings. Just asking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eden Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Are there any stores around town that still sell herbs besides parsley in bunches rather than in stupid little plastic boxes? (looking for thyme, marjoram, mint & basil) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never even heard of Dolcetta Sweets, although I'm not a sweets eater so that's not saying much. Where did you find out about her history with dumplings? She sounds like someone I should get to know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
