Persian cooking is one of the oldest and greatest cuisines of the
world. It is refined, sophisticated, subtle yet distinctive,
elegant and varied. Fruits, nuts, herbs and spices are combined
with rice, fish and meat in combinations whose ancient influence
can be found in the cooking of the Middle East, Spain and India.
Persian cuisine is perfectly suited to today's style of eating -
many of the dishes are vegetarian, and the marriage of sweet and
savoury, such as grains and pulses stewed with fruit and spices,
make for unforgettable meals. The sweetmeats and pastries are
especially mouthwatering. Margaret Shaida was born in England. She
married an Iranian and went to live in her husband's country in
1955. She stayed there for 25 years and learned Persian cooking
from her mother-in-law and other friends and relatives in their own
kitchens. Her love of Persian food grew even more passionate during
the five years she spent researching this book. What she takes us
on is a culinary adventure, illustrating the diversity of food as
represented by its many different religions; Christian, Jewish,
Muslim and Zoroastrian, whilst explaining the many customs and
traditions which make up the exotic and colourful threads in a
cuisine which spans more than three thousand years. The Legendary
Cuisine of Persia is an original and fascinating cookery book which
will provide stimulation to all the senses.
