So reads the preface to this informative and unusual cookbook. In addition to covering 200 sumptuous classic Persian recipes, this collection features special sections on The History of Persian Cuisine, Food and Entertainment within the Persian Home, and The Fundamentals of Classic Persian Cooking.
