[Sca-cooks] Persian

[Stefan li Rous]

Gwen Cat asked:
<<< looking for resources for Period Persian. ?Most specifically, I have been told there are standard(ish) spice blends... like the ?Persian versions of poudre douce and poudre forte;
one primarily for sweet, one for savory. >>>

Here is what I have separated out in the Florilegium on Persian food:
fd-Persia-msg (20K) 8/17/10 Food of medieval Persia. References.

Here is what I have on spice mixes:
spice-mixes-msg (104K) 3/ 1/09 Period spice mixtures. Poudre Forte, Douce.

I do have this article on Italian and French spice mixes, but I don't have anything specific, alas, on Persian spice mixes:
