Details
Forget everything you know about picnics! You're about to discover the lavish version of this custom, deeply rooted in the Iranian culture. “It is a charming trait in Persia that anyone you meet understands the pleasures of a picnic”, already noted the British explorer Freya Stark in 1930. Nowadays, it's still a central event in Iranian families' life, and any reason is good enough to lounge on the ground, ready to devour a real Persian feast.
No city fits more this discovery than Shiraz, the "city of gardens and nightingales", shrouded by the delicate scent of orange blossoms. Its traditional Persian gardens are not only a testimony of the long love of Iranian for nature, but Shirazis are also among the greatest picnic lovers of Iran!
In the incredible setting of a lovely private garden, get familiar with the principles of Persian cuisine and learn to cook several tasteful Shirazi dishes along with a talented local chef. Because picnic in Iran is far from being frugal, discover a large variety of foods, side dishes, beverages, and bites, as the best introduction to the culinary culture of Iran.
Reward all your efforts by arranging a perfect picnic situation, and enjoy all these delicious home-cooked meals. Once everything is ready, join the festivities and share altogether a true moment of conviviality, as only Iran as the secret.
