Best books to learn Persian cooking, in order

Persian food is a cuisine of technique disguised as simplicity, so order matters more than it looks. Begin with rice—the soaked, parboiled, steamed method that produces fluffy grains and the coveted tahdig crust—because it underpins everything, then learn the herb-heavy khoresh stews and the balance of sour, sweet, and saffron, then move to the celebration dishes. Master the rice and the aromatic foundation, and the rest of the table follows.
