ROSE HARVEST IN GOLESTANEH

By Manuela | June 18, 2018 | InAll Recipes, Blog, General

It has been quite a while, since my last post, but then so much has happened.
My trip to Iran to do research for my book was a great success.
I went to many amazing places, saw unique sites and had wonderful experiences.

If I would have to pick out one thing that made my trip unforgettable  it would be the people of Iran. I have seldom been made to  feel so welcome and been treated with such generosity.

In the next months I will be poring over my notes, recipes and photographs for the book.
I will post, from time to time, little teasers to whet your appetite for the delights of Persian food.
Rosewater is one of those delights and I was lucky enough, to be near Golestaneh during the annual rose harvest.
