Kolompeh

Midnight time! back home in US. After a sweet conversation with Reyhan, I was having tea with a piece of Kolompeh, an Iranian sweet/cookie from the city of Kerman. It just came accross my mind how much art is in this sweet. Covered with pistachio powder(from city of Rafsanjan) , a hard cover of bread over a thick layer of dates (from city of Bam) filled with walnut and cardamom (from Kerman). There is a clear trace of culture of the region in this simple, delicious product. So much eastern!
