From Persia to Tehr Angeles seeks to give a rich, rounded view of the foundations of Persian culture and traditions so that modern readers can know this heritage more intimately and also pick and choose which elements to make use of in their own lives. From Persia to Tehr Angeles' unique offering is in addressing its specific audience, with the intention of helping these populations become knowledgeable and appreciative of Persian tradition, culture, and food, thereby enhancing the human relationship between non-Persian and Persian partners, friends, and families, as well as humanizing the face of the modern Iranian in America.
In addition to being a transplanted Iranian himself—with a BA in business and marketing, a BS in business education, and an MA in business administration, all obtained in the United States—Kamran Sharareh has been teaching Persian cooking as “Chef KShar” for the past five years—two and a half of them online (www.kshar.net). Realizing that many young people of Persian descent know little of their own heritage, their partners know even less, and that no real solution existed, Kamran Sharareh decided to create it. His successful YouTube videos and DVDs on Persian cooking (generously laced with relationship advice) have garnered wildly enthusiastic comments and requests from his many viewers.
