波斯香草炖菜
Iran's beloved national stew: a deep, dark green pot of slow-cooked herbs — parsley, cilantro, fenugreek and chives — with tender lamb, kidney beans and the unmistakable sour perfume of dried Persian limes (limoo amani). Ghormeh sabzi tastes of home to millions of Iranians; the secret is frying the mountain of herbs patiently until dark and fragrant, then a long, gentle simmer. Served over fluffy saffron rice.

波斯香草面豆汤
A thick, nourishing Persian soup that's almost a meal in a bowl: a deep green broth packed with fresh herbs, spinach, three kinds of beans and lentils, and reshteh (Persian noodles), finished with tangy kashk (fermented whey), sweet caramelised onions and minty fried garlic. Ash reshteh is the soup of gatherings, Nowruz (Persian New Year) and chilly days — comforting, herby and complex, with the noodles symbolically representing the untangling of life's paths.

会安高楼面
The singular noodle dish of Hoi An, found almost nowhere else: thick, chewy, faintly smoky noodles — traditionally made with water from a particular ancient well and ash lye, giving them their unique bite and tawny colour — topped with slices of five-spice marinated char siu-style pork, fresh herbs and bean sprouts, crunchy croutons of fried noodle, and just a little intense broth pooled at the bottom. Cao lầu is dry-ish, not soupy, mixed together before eating — a study in texture and balance, with Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese influences reflecting Hoi An's history as a trading port. It's one of Vietnam's most distinctive bowls.
