Golden saffron rice with pistachios and ruby-red barberries - the aroma of a herb soup with butter-fried mint - who can resist that? To enjoy good Persian food, you don't necessarily have to go to a restaurant. The most delicious dishes are often not found on any menu, as Persians prefer to eat at home. There, cooking is done according to ancient recipes that have been passed down through generations for centuries. Sima Dourali and Soodabeh Durali-Müller share in their book the tradition of Persian hospitality and the significance of festive wedding and New Year dishes. A culinary journey through the regions of the country showcases the diversity of Persian cuisine. Important ingredients and their customary uses are detailed in an extensive section. The heart of the book features over 120 original vegetarian recipes from Persian cuisine.
