    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.

    RAMADAN KAREEM Ramadan is the month of fasting, charity, good deeds, prayer and intense worship for Muslims around the world. It is that time of the year where days seem endless and nights fly by. Ramadan is a season to reflect, control yourself and feel the hardships that many face. Although Ramadan is not intended to be centered around food, it ends up that way. But for us, home cooks, it is always rewarding to see people, especially kids, enjoy our food after a long day of fasting. In this guide, my goal is to help you cook ahead, meal prep and freezer cook for the month so you can enjoy all the spirituality coming your way. FREEZER FRIENDLY RECIPES Your freezer is your best friend during Ramadan. Use your freezer to get ahead of the game. Freezer friendly meals can save time and ease your days especially during weeknights. You'll be surprised at how many things you can freeze. From main, pastry, drinks to desserts and even Suhur meals. Make sure you freeze food in freezer friendly bags or containers. Also do not forget to label food before freezing. Sometimes when food has been frozen it is hard to tell what is in there, trust me I've been there. Here is a list of recipes that you can freeze. DRINKS Follow recipes for drinks as written, add sugar or not it is up to you. Divide liquid among containers according to your family's consumption, label and freeze. When ready to use, just thaw in fridge overnight or even on the countertop during the day.

    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.

    Takht-e-Jamshid (Persepolis) was founded in 512BC by Darius the Great, and added-to over the next 150 years until it was captured from Darius III and burned to the ground by Alexander "The Great" in 331 BC. It was one of the wonders of the world. As a matter of fact, today it is a Unesco Heritage site. As for the art of sophisticated cookery in Iran, it can be traced to antiquity. It has, according to existing literature, preserved its basic mode of preparation for more than a thousand years, enhanced by refinement of dishes and new recipes created in the kitchens of royalty and ordinary folk. Iranian food is prepared with such delicate subtlety that every ingredient used can be tasted and every aromatic spice added can be appreciated The classic Middle East staples of lamb, wheat bread, eggplant and yogurt are also the staples of Iran. But Iranian cuisine sets itself apart by the cultivation and use of rice for almost every meal. "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine" may have satisfied Omar Khayyam, but the fact that the Iranians themselves pay highest tribute to their poet Firdausi, who wrote the Shah-nameh — an epic poem to the ruler said to have invented cooking — clearly marks their valued appreciation of gastronomy.
