If you ask anyone who has never eaten Persian food before they always imagine that it’s heavily spiced, a lot like Indian food. And then they’re always surprised to learn it isn’t.
Persian cooking is made with a delicate balance of sweet and sour, hot and cold and the flavors are subtle and memorable. Quite unlike most other Middle Eastern food, Persian cuisine has a flavor all of its own. Often we take a recipe and “Persianise” it, like Spaghetti. We add what we think it lacks to create a better balance, or a taste that we prefer.
