PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Dilijan Bakery
A new Afghan bakery in the heart of Brooklyn Heights
Sponsored
Back in November, while shopping at SOS Chefs, I met Brian. We chatted about his new baby, sampled some incredible Afghan figs, and before parting ways he casually mentioned he was opening a bakery in Brooklyn Heights and invited me to check it out. Fast forward, Dilijan quietly opened its doors. At the helm are Ali Zaman, Mohamed Ghiasi (of Little Flower Café), and Brian Ford (celebrity baker, TV host) bringing with them a deep love for saffron, cardamom, pistachio, and gluten. A lineup of flavors that feels genuinely good for both the soul and the body.
EDITOR’S PICK
Saboon Maazeh
A girl, a farm and her soaps
I was first drawn to Saboon Maazeh because of Joy. She’s of Lebanese descent, lives on a farm upstate, and has that free spirit type of vibe. Everything on the farm is grown organically and guided by regenerative practices. Joy makes her soaps using goat’s milk from the farm, along with plant-based alternatives sourced from friends and neighbors who share the same values and care for the land in the same way.
I’ve tried four of the soaps so far and I enjoyed them all. I have sensitive skin with rosacea, so I’m always careful about what I use, and these have been truly gentle, simple without compromise.
Saboon Maazeh isn’t about fast consumption. You don’t place a one-off order; instead, you join a collective and receive a batch of 9 soaps when they’re released. It’s inspired by the CSA model (Community Supported Agriculture) where a community pledges support to a farm, sharing both the responsibility and the reward. What you receive isn’t just soap, but something made with intention, care, and a deep respect for people, land, and process. Dreamy!
