New cuisine alert: Iran

Hey everyone,

Iran is now on the site.

It breaks some myths about Middle Eastern food and traces back why Persian cuisine gets compared to the haute cuisines of France and China. It explains how the food there is not Arabic, not Levantine, and not solely kebabs.

It reveals what is uniquely Persian, why people buy herbs not by the bunch but by the pound, why beef was peasant food, and why Iranians are extremely proud of their cuisine.

Go explore the section.

Happy eating,

Ieva
