Hello I am Behnaz and I live in the village with my mother. My mother and I, as well as our grandparents, were born in this village and our ancestors have lived here for 300 years. This is a summer area in the heart of the Alborz Mountains. The mountains are at war with the river and the villages are very beautiful and spectacular, and most of its inhabitants are engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. Life in the village and in the heart of nature in old and traditional ways is far from the hustle and bustle of the city. My mother also has a number of cows, calves, chickens and roosters

Guests: Turkish Chef Cooks Yağlama, Mountain Village Feast

Today we had a special guest in our mountain village: Chef Orhan from Turkey, who helped us cook Yağlama, a famous Turkish dish. Chef Orhan picked fresh peppers, tomatoes and bell peppers from our garden. My sister carried water from the mountain spring for the goats and fed the chickens and ducks, while I made the dough. We cooked the minced meat in local butter with onion, peppers, tomato, cumin and tomato paste, and baked fresh lavash in the tandoor (clay oven).

Today in the village I picked pumpkins from our garden, loaded them into the cart and brought water from the spring to wash them.

Join us for a real day of mountain village life in the highlands. We milk the sheep, take them out to graze, and set the fresh milk aside to turn into yogurt. My mother hollows out pumpkins from the garden while we sauté onions and minced meat over the fire, seasoning it before stuffing the pumpkins. Using river stones heated in a large pot as a natural oven, we slow-cook the stuffed pumpkins the traditional way.

Waking up in the mountain pasture is unlike any other experience. The crisp air and the sounds of nature immediately awaken the senses. This morning began as most do – with the simple rhythms of nomadic life. Stepping out of our yurt, the first order of business was the chickens. A short walk to the mountain spring brought fresh water for them, and a chance to refresh ourselves too. Filling our clay pot with the cool, clear water felt wonderfully refreshing.
