    Persian Recipes

    There is more to Persian food besides kebab. Here you will find over 60 Persian recipes, from soups to stews, rice dishes to desserts and yes, even Persian kabob!

    I may be half Persian, but I sure know how to cook Persian food. I come from a long line of very talented Persian cooks and have learned from many other wonderful family and friends.

    I've perfected Persian ground beef kabob (kabob koobideh)  chicken kebab (jujeh kabob). And served over a bed of chelo (Persian rice) and you are in heaven.

    My kids adore my baked saffron rice cake (tahchin) and my ghormeh sabzi (Persian herb stew). And for dessert? Persian ice cream with saffron and rosewater (bastani).

    I also have many Persian recipes updated for modern times and use the air fryer and instant pot. Every recipe is a winner and delicious.
