As Persians say, at the end of a tasty Persian main course, such as chelo kabab (barbeque with rice) or a feast of khoreshts (stews), it’s time to enjoy

Today's macarons may be beautiful and precise, but let's remember that their origins aren't about perfection. From almond-based treats brought by Arab troops in the 8th century to evolving recipes through cultures, macarons have always been a story of creativity and adaptation. So, if your macaron doesn't look 'perfect,' don’t stress—it’s the history and heart of baking that truly matter

The earliest known recipe dates back to the early 17th century and appears to be inspired by a French version of the recipe.

"Wash a pound of the newest and the best Jordane Almonds in three or foure waters, to take away the rednesse from their out-side, lay them in a Bason of warme water all night, the next day blanch them, and dry them with a faire cloath, beat them in a stone morter, until they be reasonably fine, put to them halfe a pound of fine beaten Sugar, and so beat it to a perfect Paste, then put in halfe a dozen spoonefuls of good Damaske Rose-water, three graines of Ambergreece, when you have beaten all this together, dry it on a chafingdish of coales until it grow white and stiffe, then take it off the fire, and put the whites of two new laid Egs first beaten into froath, and so stirre it well together, then lay them on wafers in fashion of little long rowles, and so bake them in an Oven as hot as for Manchet, but you must first let the heat of the Oven passe over before you put them in, when they rise white and light, take them out of the Oven, and put them in a warm platter, and set them againe into the warme Oven & so let them remain foure or five houres, and then they wil be thoroughly dry, but if you like them better being moist, then dry them not after the first baking."
