A perfect class for anyone interested in regional Persian cuisine, modern fusion techniques, or traditional pastries.
In this workshop, you’ll explore three signature dishes from Kermanshah, each showcasing a unique blend of tradition, aroma, and regional craftsmanship. You’ll learn the secrets behind Khoresht-e Khalal, a royal almond stew enriched with saffron, rosewater, and black barberries—an iconic dish traditionally served at celebrations. You’ll also discover how to prepare a Modern Tahchin with Khoresht-e Khalal, a stunning fusion of classic saffron rice and the rich flavors of the stew, resulting in a layered centerpiece perfect for special occasions.
To complete the experience, you’ll master Kermanshahi Date Cookies (Nan-e Kermanshahi)—soft, fragrant pastries filled with spiced dates. Throughout the class, you’ll learn essential techniques such as preparing almond slivers, achieving tender meat, layering tahchin for clean slices, creating a smooth pastry dough, and elevating each dish with authentic Persian aromatics and modern presentation.
This workshop is designed to give you not only the skills to recreate these dishes at home, but also a deeper connection to the flavors, stories, and cultural roots of Kermanshah.

“Beautifully Presented Workshop Really enjoyed watching this. The instructions were easy to follow, and I learned a few new things. Thanks for putting this together.”
“شك نكن من چندین بار خورش خلال درست کرده بودم و خورده بودم، ولی واقعاً این خورشتی که درست کردیم یه طعم، عطر و مزه کاملاً اصیل، خاص و فوقالعاده خوشمزه داشت. جالبتر اینکه روز بعد حتی خوشمزهتر هم شده بود! واقعاً به نظرم اگه دنبال یه غذای اصیل و خاص برای درست کردن توی مهمونیهاتی، این بهترین انتخابه. شك نكن. شیرینی خرمایی هم کلی درست کردیم و باورم نمیشه توی دو روز همهش تموم شد”
