The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston will present Art + Cuisine Food for Thought: A Conversation on Persian Culinary Arts. Persian cuisine combines light herbs and pungent spices; meats and vegetables; and fruits and nuts in dishes bursting with flavor and jewel-like colors, to achieve a delicious and balanced diet.

The program will begin with a brief presentation and conversation by Sussan Babaie, an internationally acclaimed art historian, and Najmieh Batmanglij, who has been hailed as “the guru of Persian cuisine.” Afterward, guests are invited to enjoy a tasting buffet of Persian foods.
