SURFIRAN: Tehran Persian Cooking Class in a Local Home

SURFIRAN runs its Tehran Persian cooking class inside a private home in the north of the city, with the exact address confirmed to guests once they book. Unlike market-based tours, this class takes place entirely in the host's kitchen, giving visitors a closer look at everyday Iranian home cooking rather than a commercial or restaurant setting. Over three to four hours, a local home cook leads guests through the preparation of two to three dishes, typically a Persian stew or rice dish alongside a simple herb or salad side, keeping the focus on savoury home-style cooking. All ingredients are provided and included in the price, along with recipe cards guests can take home, and the session ends with a shared meal of everything cooked together with the host. Group sizes are kept small, often just a handful of guests, since the class runs inside a private residence rather than a dedicated cooking studio, and instruction is conversational and hands-on rather than lecture-style. Dietary substitutions can often be discussed directly with the host in advance, since the intimate setting allows more flexibility than a larger commercial tour, though guests should confirm specific restrictions before the day of the class. No transit is required once guests arrive at the home, and the unhurried pace leaves room for conversation about Iranian food culture and daily life over the shared meal.
