One of the great joys in my life
is cooking, especially Persian dishes. One time a friend asked me if it was the
actual cooking that I liked so much or the taste of the food. Truth be told I
couldn't decide which one I enjoyed best. I
don't know when I first fell in love with Persian cuisine. It may have been when
I visited a Persian restaurant and had Shirin Polo for the first time. I'll never
forget my first taste of this chicken and rice dish, sweet with candied orange
and carrots and studded with pistachios and almonds. 
Some
of the ingredients used in Persian cooking are
Pistachios ~ Saffron
~ Dried Limes
~
Cinnamon ~
Apricots
~ Cardamom ~ Dates
~ Almonds ~Pomegranates
~ Rose water . These
ingredients are combined with rice and meat, vegetables and herbs. I don't think
there is a more romantic cuisine in the world. I
am still trying to perfect my Persian "tah dig" or "tadiq",
which is the crispy layer of rice that forms in the bottom of the pot when the
rice is perfectly cooked.
I am always thrilled to cook Persian dishes for
my family and friends. These are some of my favorites. All of these easy to print
recipes come from trusted sources and many include helpful Cooks Tips.
