Its rich cultural heritage includes 27 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Iran is located in West Asia and the Middle East, bordering Armenia, Azerbaijan and other countries to the north, Turkey and Iraq to the west, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman to the south, and Pakistan and Afghanistan to the east. Human activities in Iran can be traced back to the Paleolithic Age, and since the fourth millennium BC, the land has witnessed many glorious eras, including the Mede Kingdom, the Achaemenid Empire and the Sassanid Empire. Iran is a multi-ethnic country whose main language is Persian, but many languages such as Azerbaijani Turkish, Kurdish and Arabic are also spoken. Iran is rich in artistic and literary achievements, such as Persian poetry and literary works that occupy an important position in the history of world literature. Persian cuisine has a long history and is deeply influenced by geography and culture. Its origins date back centuries, when the Persian Empire spread its influence over a wide area. Persian cuisine is known for its use of unique ingredients such as saffron, pomegranates and walnuts, which spread to the Mediterranean and other regions with Persian conquest and trade. Classic dishes such as Kebab and Ash Reshteh showcase its diversity and rich historical background. Persian cuisine is not only a taste pleasure, but also a historical epitome of Iranian culture. 【About ASH RESHTEH, Mint Cheese Spinach Noodle Soup】 https://uniqop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/ash-reshte-7.jpg Irva (حلوا) is a dessert that originated in Iran (Persia) and has spread widely to the Middle East and South Asia. It can be found in many countries such as Azerbaijan, Greece, India, Myanmar and Turkey. The word kalva originated in Persia (modern-day Iran), first appearing in the seventh century, and originally referred to a mixture of date paste and milk. By the ninth century, the word was used to describe a variety of sweets, including what we now know as semolina or roux cooked with sugar. https://figandquince.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/halva-persian-food-iranian-kitchen-ashpazi-shah-abbas-story-pictures.jpg Ash Reshteh is an important delicacy passed down from generation to generation in Persian families, especially during the Persian New Year "Nowruz". This soup is also one of the most popular soups in Iranian cooking. It has a long history, unique flavor, and is not only rich in nutrients, but also one of the most popular soups in Iranian cooking. It also contains profound cultural significance and has become the warmest comfort food in the hearts of Persians. The origins of this soup date back centuries and have evolved throughout this time. As early as 500 AD, noodles were added to bring it closer to the version we know today. The flavor of Ash Reshteh is mainly determined by two unique Persian ingredients: reshteh (fine noodles) and kashk (fermented dairy products). In addition, the addition of ingredients such as herbs, chickpeas, onions and dried mint makes the soup rich and layered. Noodles symbolize good fortune in the new year, so the soup is considered an essential delicacy during celebrations such as Nowruz (Persian New Year) and Eid al-Fitr. 【Workshop content EVENT DETAILS】 https://yk-club.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Picsart_24-06-16_23-51-08-524-1536x1024.jpg 1) Make together: Mint Cheese Spinach Soup Ash Reshteh (will be produced jointly by groups) https://yk-club.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Picsart_24-06-16_23-44-43-539-1024x1536.jpg 2) Understand Iran and soup culture (brief presentation sharing) https://yk-club.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Picsart_24-06-16_23-46-42-933.jpg 3) Taste delicious food Mint Cheese Spinach Bisque: Ash Reshteh (Pictures are for reference only and are based on students’ cooking results) 【Who is suitable to participate? 】 1.
