Hasirbafi of Bushehr

This handicraft has its roots thousands of years ago in Iran, and it is a type of handicraft that is created in a variety of ways in each region depending on what nature offers. In the areas of Iran where there are palm trees, palm leaves are used, and in others wicker. However, it is a work whose technique is likely to appear for the production of different objects. In fact, there are many resources in the Khuzestan region of southern Iran, particularly in Bushehr and the Persian Gulf countries.

In many regions, stalks of wheat, rye, rice and palm leaves are also used to weave the products. To weave a mat, the first stems corresponding in size and diameter are collected and soaked in water. Then three or five of them will be tied by another stem.

These packages are woven to produce items such as baskets, bags and rugs with geometric and diamond patterns.

Pateh Douzi

Pateh Douzi, also known as “Selseleh Douzi” or “Fateh Douzi” is an important handicraft of Kerman province. Fortunately, this craft is still being practiced and making Patehs is one of the most flourishing trades of Iran. Due to vulnerability of textiles no Pateh product has survived from the ancient times, and very little is known about its history. However, according to travel documentaries and texts that belong to Safavid dynasty, we can be almost certain that Pateh was quite popular in Kerman during that time.

Pateh Douzi, or art of sewing Pateh, is a kind of embroidery in which all over of the textile is covered by colorful stitches. The makers of Pateh are most commonly young girls and women of Kerman who sew the patterns from their own imagination on wide and thick fabrics called “Ariz” or “Shawl”. Ariz is a kind of handmade fabric that in the past was used to make skirts, coats and women overcoats. This fabric is made by textile machinery, both manual and automatic, in colors such as red, yellow, white, blue and green. “Ris” or the yarn that is used in Pateh is a wool yarn that was handspun in the past but today it is spun by machines. Traditionally the yarns are dyed with colors such as burgundy, black, light or dark green, yellow, orange, red, dark blue and etc., but new colors have been added to Pateh color palettes. In the past, Golabatoon and silk yarns were used, too.

Suzan doozi or Suzani

suzan doozi or Baluchi doozi is the art of fabric decoration and has a long history in Iran. Baloch women learn the art of suzan doozi from an early age and embroider fabrics artistically and skillfully. The designs and motifs used, although simple, are very delicate and geometric, and are sewn mentally without a plan or by sealing the fabric, which is called tappeh zani.

The yarn used in sewing these works in the past was silk yarn that was obtained from silkworm breeding in different parts of the province, although today cotton and yarn yarns have given way to silk, but still in some areas of this The province uses high quality silk yarns.

Although the art of needlework is present in most parts of Sistan and Baluchestan, but the choice of Iranshahr as a national city of suzan doozi has been due to the large number of workshops and common techniques of this city.
Baloch suzan doozi has a seal of authenticity from UNESCO and is also registered in the list of spiritual heritage of Iran.

IRANIAN RUG & CARPET

Iranians have long had a long history of weaving hand-woven carpets and using taste and art in their handicrafts. Iran is the cradle of art and culture, with many different and old objects in most of the world famous museums. Carpet is one of the Iranian handicrafts that is famous all over the world for its quality, design and role and has attracted the attention of many experts in the world. Iranian carpet, this valuable hand-woven, imports large amounts of currency into the country every year and contributes to its economy.

Greek historians state in their books that Iranians spread rugs under their beds to keep them soft. The Swiss Chinese yearbook in the Sassanid period mentions Iranian woolen carpets as goods imported to China. The famous Baharestan carpet in Ctesiphon Palace has also been widely reflected in Islamic literature due to its dazzling splendor and beauty.

PERSIAN HANDMADE LEATHER

Iranians are the world’s first and oldest producer of natural leather with a maximum history of 3,000 years. Antiquities from BC show that the Persians used natural leather for clothing, shoes and armor from about 1500 BC. Words related to leather accessories such as belts, musk, etc. in traditional texts indicate the widespread use of natural leather in pre-Islamic Iran. In Ibn Yamin’s writings, the ancient Iranians used the skins of animals such as buffaloes, writing on the skins of cows and sheep. In his writings, Ibn Yamin mentions Darius’ instructions on natural leather. According to some narrations, Avesta is written on twelve thousand pieces of cow skin. Inscriptions found in the British Museum in Oraman, Kurdistan, show the use of leather for writing during the Parthian period.

WOOD

The oldest example of a wooden work has been found in the ancient excavations of the burnt city of Zabul. This work is a piece of wooden shoulder that dates back to the fifth millennium BC. A group of experts believe that the designs on it are completely Iranian designs. wood mosaic(moarragh) is one of the most prominent fields of Iranian handicrafts, which is more older than other wooden industries in Iran such as inlay, joinery,carpentry and basket and mat weaving.

Humans have used wood for thousands of years because of its proportionate shape to build shelters, build boats, and more.
A study of artifacts from Susa, dating to 3,000 BC, shows that the natives of Iran not only used wood to build their huts, but also used it to build ladders and other living items.

Coffee plant extract, which we know as “coffee”, is based on the method of preparation and combination with other foods such as sugar, milk, cream and ice cream under various names such as Turkish coffee, French coffee, espresso coffee, cappuccino, latte and Such cases are named.

The coffee plant is a tree with white flowers, the fruit of which is in the form of cherry-like red seeds and is known as coffee cherry. Coffee cherries are made up of several components, the innermost of which are the green coffee beans we know.

Considering that having expertise in any field is a pleasure, so I decided to enter the field of coffee and coffee shop, both theoretically and practically. Coffee shop and barista management documents approved by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism and Iranian handicrafts – City & Guilds of England.

After getting the relevant documents in this field, I started working in a cafe. This experience made me put into practice everything I had learned in theory. Coffee has a really strange and beautiful world. It is a special and popular bean these days. …

FOOD

Experiencing all kinds of pleasant flavors and tasting delicious and quality food is one of the best pleasures of life. All the people of the world welcome foods that are prepared with special skills and tastes and match their tastes. In addition, people today are looking to try new flavors and may even travel to discover them. Eating new foods and dishes prepared according to specific local and regional recipes is one of the most memorable moments of any trip. Now imagine what a wonderful welcome this restaurant would be if a chef could put the most delicious dishes of different nations and tribes on the menu of his restaurant or catering center. The food of every nation and nationality is a reflection of the life habits and culture of those people. Gaining more knowledge about the culture of people in different countries of the world will make the work of a chef easier and more professional. Serving international cuisine with its original arrangement, garnish, style and context will make serving it more attractive and memorable for new people. In some cases, the food or the way the food is cooked may not be very compatible with the tastes of the people of the destination country. As a result, it is better for the chef, based on his skill, to change the recipe to some extent and change it according to the customers’ tastes. Activities in restaurants that specialize in serving and serving food in a particular area will play an important role in attracting customer attention.

Confectionery in Europe is less old than in Asia. Centuries after Asia, honey opened its doors to Europe, and sugar entered the European food and confectionery industry later than honey. The recipes of the Renaissance period of the 14th century in Italy also include recipes for baking a variety of sweets, biscuits and cookies. In the late fourteenth century, small wafers filled with various creams were sold on the streets of Paris. The most famous confectioners in the world are still French, and even the owner of the most famous confectionery in the world in Australia is a Frenchman. In past centuries, confectioners made sweets on firewood. You may be interested to know that the origins of the first sweets go back to ancient Iran. If we want to talk about the history of confectionery in ancient Iran, we come to a type of cake called “Lavish” which was baked during the empire of ancient Iran in the seventh century AD and was very popular. Cookies, dry cakes and finger food sweets, all based on flour such as rice flour or pastry flour and made with butter, eggs, sugar, etc., are common sweets around the world.
