關於哈爾瓦酥糖糕（HALVA） | ABOUT PERSIAN HALVA

哈爾瓦（حلوا）是一道起源於伊朗（波斯）的甜點，並廣泛傳播到中東和南亞地區，在阿塞拜疆、希臘、印度、緬甸和土耳其等許多國家都有其蹤影。哈爾瓦一詞起源於波斯（現代伊朗），首次出現於七世紀，最初指的是棗泥與牛奶的混合物。到了九世紀，這個詞被用來描述多種糖果，包括我們現在熟知的加糖煮熟的粗麵粉或麵粉糊。

許多早期的波斯食譜都記錄在13世紀的阿拉伯書籍《菜餚之書》（Kitab al-Tabikh）以及13世紀安達盧斯的一本匿名食譜中。哈爾瓦被奧斯曼土耳其人採用，包括基於芝麻的版本，並傳播到整個帝國。

在伊朗，根據所用原料的種類和烹調的地理位置不同，哈爾瓦有多種口味和形狀，像是Angupich halva、Umaj halva、Zardak halva、Shahdaneh halva等。最常見的哈爾瓦由麵粉和油製成，並用藏紅花和玫瑰水調味，呈黃色、棕色或深棕色，通常在婚禮慶典、宗教儀式和葬禮上供應。

Halva (حلوا) is a dessert that originated in Iran (Persia) and has spread widely to the Middle East and South Asia, with its presence in many countries such as Azerbaijan, Greece, India, Myanmar, and Turkey…etc. The term "halva" originated in Persia (modern-day Iran) and first appeared in the 7th century, initially referring to a mixture of dates and milk. By the 9th century, this term was used to describe various confections, including the sweetened, cooked semolina or flour paste we know today.

Many early Persian recipes are recorded in the 13th-century Arabic book Kitab al-Tabikh (The Book of Dishes) and a 13th-century anonymous Andalusian cookbook. Halva was adopted by the Ottoman Turks, who developed sesame-based versions and spread it throughout the empire.

In Iran, depending on the ingredients used and the region where it is prepared, halva comes in various flavors and shapes, such as Angupich halva, Umaj halva, Zardak halva, and Shahdaneh halva. The most common type is made from flour and oil, flavored with saffron and rose water, and appears yellow, brown, or dark brown. It is typically served at weddings, religious ceremonies, and funerals.

關於哈爾瓦酥糖糕（HALVA） | ABOUT PERSIAN HALVA

Sholezard（شله زرد）是一種傳統的伊朗甜點，有著數百年的歷史。這款美味的甜點最初只在像波斯新年諾魯孜節這樣的特殊場合供應。它那獨特的亮黃色來自於藏紅花這個主要成分。藏紅花、小荳蔻和玫瑰水被稱為波斯風味的神聖三部曲，賦予Sholezard獨特的波斯風味，使其與其他米布丁區別開來。現在，Sholezard也在齋戒月期間的開齋餐中或一般慶祝場合享用

Sholezard (شله زرد) is a traditional Iranian dessert with a history spanning several centuries. This delicious treat was initially served only on special occasions, such as the Persian New Year, Nowruz. Its distinctive bright yellow color comes from saffron, its main ingredient. Saffron, cardamom, and rose water are known as the holy trinity of Persian flavors, giving Sholezard its unique Persian taste and setting it apart from other rice puddings. Nowadays, Sholezard is also enjoyed during iftar, the meal to break the fast during Ramadan.

體驗製作和專業料理課程的差別：

體驗製作活動著重於「與當地人或主講者的交流」，以及「大家一起準備餐桌的氛圍」。

就像和當地人一起在家中準備當天的晚餐一樣，每個人會分工準備，但我們並「不特別強調料理的學習」。

這與專業料理課程有所不同，專業課程更注重教導料理的製作技巧。如果您對學習如何製作異國料理有興趣，我們也有其他的料理課程供您選擇，或者您也可以隨時與我們聯絡！

What’s the difference between “Hands-on Experience” and a “Professional Cooking Class”?

In our hands-on experience events, the focus is on “interacting with local people or instructors” and creating a warm atmosphere of “preparing the table together.”

It’s similar to preparing a dinner with locals in their homes, where each person has different tasks, but we “do not specifically emphasize learning cooking skills.”

This is different from a professional cooking class, which places more emphasis on teaching the techniques of cooking. If you are interested in learning how to cook international cuisine, we have other cooking classes available for you to choose from, or you can always contact us anytime!”

場地狀況說明 Venue condition

體驗製作活動主要著重於讓參與者深入體驗當地文化，品嚐特色的異國美食。因此，現場並沒有像專業料理課程那樣的專業廚房，還請見諒。

The experiential cooking activity focuses primarily on providing participants with an immersive experience of local culture and the taste of unique international cuisines. Therefore, please understand that the venue does not have a professional kitchen like in a culinary course.
