The Legendary Cuisine of Persia by Margaret Shaida
All the recipes given in the book are authentic and have been tested by many generations of Iranian cooks and housewives and although they can sometimes appear exotic or complex, this book shows that this results from the surprising and subtle combinations of quite commonplace ingredients. Indeed, the basic methods are simple and the cook is not required either to re-equip the kitchen or to embark on an endless quest for esoteric ingredients. The book won the 1993 Glenfiddich Food Book of the Year Award.
Shaida, Margaret: - 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.
