A Taste of Persia

The cuisine of Persia is unique. The origins of many dishes are shrouded in its long history of more than three thousand years and in the reciprocal influences involved in that history.

The food of Persia has had a remarkable influence on the cooking of many regions, from ancient rome and Greece to Mogul India,the Moslem world and the Ottoman empire.

Equally, it has itself been influenced over the centuries, so that today, despite its alluringly axotic air, the cuisine has a warm familiarity.

Persian cooking can be identified by its sumptuous rice dishes, its intiguing and delicate flavours, its combination of herbs, saffron and various fruits.
