    Saffron - The Wonder Spice Saffron is a member of the iris family. Its violet coloured flowers bloom in autumn. To produce saffron, the stigmas are painstakingly handpicked at dawn, cut from the white style and then, to enhance the flavour, dried or toasted over a very low heat to a deep red to orange-red colour. Apart from its well documented medicinal benefits, saffron is a culinary treasure. It energises dishes with its distinctive fragrance and earthy essence. Iran is the most important producer of saffron. It accounts for approximately 90% of the world production of saffron. It takes 4,500 flowers to make up one ounce or about 80,000 flowers to produce just 500g of the spice making it the most expensive spice in the world. It is no wonder, therefore, that cheaper imitations have made their appearance. At Saffron, quality is our hallmark and we take pride in sourcing only the most authentic produce for use in our preparations. Be assured, therefore, that with us you will always savour the true Taste of Saffron. Allergy advice: Some dishes on our menu may contain tree nuts, wheat, seeds, gluten, eggs and other allergens.

    Here with a little Breadbeneath the Bough, A Flask Wine , aBook of Verse - and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness - Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow! As Omar Khayam poetically said, food plays a major role in the life of the Persian people and Iranian hospitality is famed throughout the world. Considerable time and thought is given to the preparation of meals, and the most lavish foods are offered to the guest in a show of great hospitality. The first principle of Persian cuisine is to avoid putting all one’s faith into the one ingredient, or the ‘sweet - sour’ principle. One taste must be blended or balanced the other. The second principle is that all edibles are food. Not only the grape but the grape leaf can be eaten. This leads to an enormous range of combinations The third principle is that Fruits and nuts are not reserved for desert. No other cuisine has so successfully blended Fruits and nuts into the main course of the meal. Talk on persian cuisine would not be complete if we failed to mention caviar. Persian caviar which comes from the Caspian Sturgeon is well known for its quality and is served with accompaniments of chopped egg, onion and parsely. Certainly the most traditional food in persian cuisine is rice. Delicately perfumed, it appears in numerous varieties. Mixed with herbs such as mint, saffron, cinnamon, turmeric, dill and even with fruits, including barberries, orange peel, cherries and walnuts. When rice is cooked with a mixture of other ingredients it is called polo. When meat or sauces are laid over a plate of rice, it is referred to as chello, the most famous being chello kebab.

Abstract Introduction The relationship between childhood obesity and later chronic diseases is evident. In Iran, whilst childhood obesity is a recognised increasing public health problem, no evidence for effective prevention strategies are available. Aim and objectives The aim was to inform the development of an obesity prevention intervention for Iranian school children, which could be later tested as part of a randomised controlled trial. Objective included: To develop and validate a semi-quantitative food ticklist to estimate energy intake in children. To examine the pattern, and factors associated with obesity in school children. To explore contextual influences on childhood obesity and to gain insights on barriers and facilitators that would help tailor the intervention.
