Irani (Persian) Recipes

Here you’ll find my collection of Irani (Persian) recipes. This collection includes traditional recipes, like Mast o Khiar, Gosh e Fil and Shole Zard. You’ll also find my own creative spins on Persian food, such as my Chocolate-dipped Rosewater Cookies.

There is some overlap between Persian and Afghan food, due to similarities in culture. This is reflected in the collection. For more Afghan recipes, click here.
