FAMILY RECIPIES MADE FOR YOU

As a young girl in Afghanistan, Nazie watched her grandmother harvest vegetables and herbs from the family garden and transform them into meals that brought everyone together. It was in that kitchen that she learned to make traditional bolani, carefully filling each flatbread with potatoes, herbs, and spices before cooking them in a clay oven. She never imagined that her grandmother’s recipe would one day become the foundation of a family business in America. More than thirty years later, that same tradition continues to inspire every Bolani flatbread we make.

After moving to New York City, Nazie was surrounded by foods and flavors from cultures around the world, yet she couldn’t find the simple, home-cooked Afghan dishes she knew and loved. She wondered where the food that represented her own heritage was. Years later, after meeting her husband and building a new life in California, Nazie continued sharing those cherished flavors with her family. While working at a farmers’ market alongside her oldest son, Billal, she saw an opportunity to introduce her Afghan heritage to a wider community through the authentic, wholesome foods she had grown up making.
