Seriously!

Iranian cooks and chefs, like most others who have a deep cultural and culinary history, take cooking and eating very seriously. That is why I would never claim to be able to cook Iranian food or Iranian dishes. I make my own "version" of what little I know about this cuisine, which yes I know, is a huge insult (I'm sorry, okay?!).

A post that I read on the Facebook page, "Must See Iran," really set my position in stone though. Don't even TRY to claim you can make a certain cultural dish-- you will be set straight! A video about the dish Mirza Ghasemi made by Aashpazi was met with A LOT of negative passion. The funniest part is that Aashpazi's channel is what I've often used to cook up Iranian meals (or so I thought). Just take a look at these comments (including mine). Now if you follow my Instagram food account (omae.omae) you might think from the edited photos that I can cook Persian food---I can not and will never claim I can!

Please remove this video !! What on earth did this person make ? Vegan mirzaghasemi?? Where is the eggs and garlic etc ??? Do your self a favour and delete this silly video because this food does not represent Iran or mirzaghasemi

BS!!
Not the real thing. 
Big errors!!

U better remove the video after these many comments protesting ur cooking u just started cooking! Learn first how to cook a dish! Chefs put video to teach, not u!

Ignorance! ignorance! ignorance!

And check out this video from the Iranian show, "The Chef." Haha, that's about right.

So there you go, amateurs be warned. 

As for me, let's leave it at this: 

Bye for now! Stay tuned for my next post entitled, "Midnight Train to Mashad."
