Although kababs are popular restaurant fare, they represent only a small sampling of the dishes Iranians eat at home. Persian cooking, with its emphasis on fresh, natural ingredients corresponds with the trend in eating that's spreading across America. 'Join the delicious revolution!' as Alice Waters says; 'Eat simply, eat together, eat seasonally, shop at farmers markets.'Iran and Persia refer to the same place. These days we use 'Iran' to refer to the country and 'Persia' or 'Persian' for the culture, from Persian carpets, and Persian cats to, Persian cooking. Persian, also called farsi, is the language of Iran.Joon means 'life' in Persian. It can be used in multiple ways, from a term of endearment akin to 'darling'after someone's name to showing great enthusiasm: 'I love it!' The expression nushe joon, literally 'food of life,' is similar to the French 'bon apptit,' a wish that a meal will be enjoyed.
