Bedeutung
To prepare food by heating it, mixing ingredients, etc.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Dast-pokht' (literally 'hand-cooked') refers to a person's unique talent for making food taste good. It is believed that two people can use the same recipe, but the one with the better 'dast-pokht' will make a better meal. Cooking for guests is a major social event. It is common to prepare several types of rice and stews for a single dinner party to show respect and abundance. The 'Tahdig' (crispy rice at the bottom of the pot) is the most prized part of Persian cooking. Mastering the 'ashpazi' of a perfect Tahdig is a sign of a true expert. Gender roles in cooking are changing. While traditionally a female-dominated sphere at home, many of the most famous professional chefs in Iran and the diaspora are men.
Drop the 'Kardan' in titles
When talking about 'Cooking' as a subject or title (like a book), just use 'آشپزی' without 'kardan'.
Don't use for drinks
Remember, you never 'ashpazi' coffee or tea. Use 'dorost kardan' or 'dam kardan'.
