Things got a little more advanced this time around; making fries from scratch and navigating vegan beef for the first time is no easy feat, and I failed my instructor on both counts. My solace was watching Hilton’s nervous “chief of staff,” Charlotte, frantically oversee the party planners decorating Hilton’s dining room like an old-school diner to match the burger-and-fries motif. Farokh Talati has always wanted to share Parsi food with the world, his long-held goal being to open a Parsi restaurant to share the traditions and innovations of the cuisine he loves.

Chef Farokh Talati’s approachable cookbook, Parsi - From Persia to Bombay, explores his Parsi roots and his food, but could have benefited from more context It also seems a fairly significant oversight that a book that hopes to become a Parsi classic does not mention that this book is written by a Parsi brought up in the West, writing primarily for a western audience.

That lasagna earned her a series that joins the new wave of celebrities learning to cook by getting a cooking show. Cooking With Paris follows Hilton’s misadventures in the kitchen alongside famous friends (and family) like Kim Kardashian West, Demi Lovato, and America’s sweetheart Kathy Hilton. Paris admits that she’s not a trained chef, but with fingerless “sliving gloves” on and bedazzled cookware at the ready, she is prepared to learn.

I course-corrected my frying skills after the French-fry mishap, resulting in phenomenal onion rings. It’s hard to go wrong with steak, even if you douse it with water, and I was pleasantly surprised that the homemade ranch tasted like ranch.
