Al-Baghdadi comes immediately to mind. Although not Persian in the strictest 
since it certainly has influences including not a few of the recipe names 
themselves that are directly borrowed from Persian cuisine. Another 
similarity is the use of Persian Milk or yogurt in a number of recipes. I 
would venture to say that Al-Baghdadi contains a lot of Persian influences 
both directly and indirectly.

 There is supposed to be a period book of poetry about food, but I 
 don't know where you would find it or whether it has been translated.
