The Persian Culture
The Flavor of Persia, Served with Love
More Than a Meal
For Iranians the food is not just a meal but rather a culture in which they use food to express their identity, community values, status, power, artistry, and creativity. No one interested in food can afford to ignore what is one of the world's most important and influential cuisines. Iranian cooking is heir to no less than two and a half thousand years of saffron- and rosewater-scented history.

Cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices are used along with a multitude of fresh herbs.
