Hello and welcome to The Persian Pot
My name is Marzie. I am an architect, designer and a passionate cook. I was born and grew up in Iran, living with my family and enjoying the delicious and gorgeous food that my mother cooked with love.
When I was 18 I left my parents’ home and started university studies in a city far from my home town, where I had to cook on my own. The first attempt turned out to be a disaster, but I didn’t give up and kept trying until I learned to cook almost all the popular Iranian dishes, and many of my friends would ask me for recipes of the foods I cooked. I remember having a small notebook where I wrote down the recipes I learned from my mom and sister.
Few years ago I traveled to Barcelona and I continued cooking Persian foods, and each time I would receive a positive feedback from people who tried it. That was when the idea of starting a food blog came to my mind.

Also some of them are labeled as Persianized which refers to non-Iranian recipes that are changed to fit Persian cuisine. The recipes explain all the tips you need to know and are tested several times by my friends, family or myself.
