Cooking Class Recipes
Omid Roustaei | www.thecaspianchef.com | www.instagram.com/thecaspianchef About Persian Cuisine Persian cuisine is one of the world’s great gastronomies, flourishing for centuries across an area that, at the height of the ancient Persian Empire (circa 550 to 330 B.C.), included modern-day Iran, along with parts of Iraq, Macedonia, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. The repertoire of dishes is fragrant, diverse, and highly refined, based on complex culinary techniques. They are imbued with fresh flowers and herbs like rose petals, fenugreek, and mint; spices like saffron, sumac, and cardamom; fruits like pomegranate and barberry; all kinds of citrus; and nuts, including pistachios and almonds. If this roster of ingredients sounds familiar, it’s because Persian cooking has influenced Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Northern Indian, and Turkish cuisines yet itself remains somewhat below the radar. Typical Iranian main dishes are combinations of rice with meat (such as lamb, chicken, or fish), vegetables, and nuts. Fresh green herbs are frequently used, along with fruits such as plums, pomegranates, quinces, prunes, apricots, and raisins. Characteristic Iranian flavorings such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, turmeric, and fresh herbs are mixed and used in various dishes. The agriculture of Iran produces many fruits and vegetables. Thus, a bowl of fresh fruit is common on Iranian tables, and vegetables are standard sides to most meals. These are not only enjoyed fresh and ripe as desserts but are also combined with meat and form accompaniments to main dishes. When fresh fruits are not available, a large variety of dried fruits such as dates, figs, apricots, and peaches are used instead. -

Irreverent Persia
Irreverent Persia IRANIAN IRANIAN SERIES SERIES Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of IRREVERENT PERSIA Persian literary history. Its principal genres – invective, satire and burlesque – have been INVECTIVE, SATIRICAL AND BURLESQUE POETRY very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts FROM THE ORIGINS TO THE TIMURID PERIOD have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle (10TH TO 15TH CENTURIES) irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major and minor poets from the origins of Persian poetry RICCARDO ZIPOLI (10th century) up to the age of Jâmi (15th century), traditionally considered the last great classical Persian poet. In addition to their historical and linguistic interest, many of these poems deserve to be read for their technical and aesthetic accomplishments, setting them among the masterpieces of Persian literature. Riccardo Zipoli is professor of Persian Language and Literature at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice, where he also teaches Conceiving and Producing Photography. The western cliché about Persian poetry is that it deals with roses, nightingales, wine, hyperbolic love-longing, an awareness of the transience of our existence, and a delicate appreciation of life’s fleeting pleasures. And so a great deal of it does. But there is another side to Persian verse, one that is satirical, sardonic, often obscene, one that delights in ad hominem invective and no-holds barred diatribes. Perhaps surprisingly enough for the uninitiated reader it is frequently the same poets who write both kinds of verse. -
