Pomegranate syrup gives real pop to Persian chicken dish
Trying something entirely different is one of the perks of writing Cook's Corner. When Sarah Artecona of South Miami, Fla., asked for help finding a recipe "with dark chicken parts and a brown sauce" that a friend of Persian background had made, I was stumped. But our readers came through. Fiona Bergstrom of Southport, N.C., quickly identified the dish. "This must be the Persian-Iranian fasanjoon, which my maid used to make in Tehran when we lived there in the '70s. It is delicious. Unfortunately, I do not have a recipe for it, but this at least gives you a name to go after." Connie McGee of Miami provided a recipe from her friend Farzaneh Rastagh and a slightly different spelling: fesenjan. James Eighmey also sent a recipe, which he calls Khoresh fesenjan. "This is a special-occasion dish in Iran, in the north near the Caspian Sea and is usually made with duck or pheasant," he wrote.

Fine Living: Marin skin care producers prove beauty doesn't have to be toxic
I'M NOT a frivolous skin care or cosmetic consumer. I don't like looking through a drawer full of barely used jars of creams, tubes of hair product or other beauty enhancers. And ever since Marin resident Karen Behnke, head of Juice Beauty, an organic skin-care line, told me that skin absorbs more than 60 percent of what we put on it, I'd rather not put on anything toxic. I really just want products that do what they promise, feel and look good, wear well, don't make my skin react and are toxic-free. So, I was curious when I got an e-mail from Katie Watts, the IJ calendar editor, who told me about a lip balm she liked "because it's light and silky and the lavender flavor is so exotic and unexpected." Her lavender balm ($5) for chapped lip prevention (the moisturizing mandarin or vanilla is better for soothing chapped lips) is from BeesWork, a company in Larkspur that prides itself on high-quality, synthetic-free products.
