An early fourteenth-century Baghdadi cookbook begins thus: “The pleasures of this world are six: food, drink, clothing, sex, scent, and sound. The most eminent and perfect of these is food, for food is the foundation of the body and the material of life.”
What is a "rhyton"? What's a yakhtchal? And how is that Persian walled gardens are connected to Christian paradise?
I am Darius, the great king, the king of kings, the king in Persia, the king of countries, the son of Hystaspes, the grandson of Arsames, the Achaemenide.
Join me on this new episode to explore nearly three thousand years of Persian food, culture and inventions that elevated our culinary pleasures to higher standards that we still follow to this day!
