Modern Persian Plates: Breadmasters ARA-Z Sangak & Beyond Featuring Chef Nicole Dayani

Culinary educator and recipe developer Nicole Dayani brings the vibrant flavors of her Persian heritage to the Discovery Kitchen stage in a demo that celebrates the versatility of Breadmasters ARA-Z—the premier U.S. maker of Lavash, Sangak, Markook, and Firetail Flatbread. Nicole will showcase three irresistible dishes: Garlic Herb Butter Sangak Crisps—perfect for dipping—paired with a smoky Persian Eggplant Dip and a bright Persian Egg and Potato Salad with Pickles. Each recipe highlights how these Middle Eastern breads become the ideal canvas for traditional Persian flavors with a fresh, modern twist—think buttery, herb-scented crisps, velvety eggplant, and vibrant salads layered with tangy pickles and warm spices. Discover how Breadmasters AR-AZ turns time-honored flatbreads into the foundation for bold, colorful dishes that feel authentic, accessible, and refreshingly new.

Nicole’s Kitchen LA, founded by Chef Nicole Leah Dayani, is a boutique private culinary studio located in the heart of Beverly Hills. What began as a spark of inspiration from a few of Nicole’s closest college friends has since blossomed into a thriving, community-backed career and lifelong passion. Coming from a conservative Iranian and Jewish family, a career in the culinary arts was unconventional and often misunderstood. But through her passion, resilience, and determination, Nicole built a brand that has now flourished for over 12 years — teaching more than 14,000 students in person and over 20,000 online students for master classes and inspiring thousands to explore the joy of cooking.
