Chapter 24 : Iran

Iran's history is rich and ancient, and while we often label it the "middle east", in culinary tradition it sits between the traditions of the middle east and India, two regions who seems nearly irreconcilable with each other.

It is a cuisine rich in dill, cilantro, turmeric, saffron, and eggplant. Unfortunately, as I was leaving for vacation as I began this, I hardly had time to explore it fully, but the recipes that follow will gie yoyu some food for though, or vice versa.
