What Is Pashmak? A Short Yet Sweet Introduction To This 'Iranian Candy Floss'
We all recognise candy floss – this delightful treat reminds us of fun fairs and the good old days (when we did not have to worry about sugar intake). All over the world, you can find many sweets that resemble cotton candy in more ways than one. Famous among them is Pashmak, a traditional sweet that is commonly known as ‘Iranian cotton candy.’ However, Pashmak is so much more than candy floss –…

As a kid in Hebrew School, I learned that my classmates would have apples and honey and round challah at Rosh Hashanah to bring in the New Year, and that was pretty much it when it came to food traditions. But at home, it was a different story. 
As an Iranian Jew, Rosh Hashanah was an elaborate affair. We’d gather the extended family together for the first two nights of the holiday, the first at my parents’ house, the second at my aunt’s. Dining tables, coffee tables, and folding tables would be lined up to make one long dinner table, covered with tablecloths to accommodate a good 20 or so family members. The table would be spread with platter after platter: mountains of saffron-laced basmati rice, crispy tahdig, and flavorful stews — maybe a deep green stew of celery and lots of herbs, or a tomato-based eggplant stew, tangy with unripe grapes.
But before dinner, we’d (mostly) pause the loud chatter — a lively mix of Persian and English — for a full Sephardic Rosh Hashanah seder. Yes, there were apples and honey. But we’d also have dates, beets, pomegranate seeds, slow-cooked black-eyed peas and beef tongue, Persian leeks, and fried zucchini, each with a symbolic meaning and a blessing for the coming year. 
This date upside-down cake takes the dates from my family’s Rosh Hashanah seder and pairs them with the two fragrant ingredients found in so many Persian sweets: cardamom and rosewater. The cake’s batter uses buttermilk for a bit of tang and goes easy on the sugar to provide some balance for the topping: a super sweet combination of velvety dates in a rich butter caramel. It’s a moist and aromatic dessert that pairs perfectly with a glass of amber-colored Persian tea.

One of the most famous Iranian desserts is the soft and colorful masghati. The base of this traditional confectionery is a mixture of liquids such as water or milk, combined with starch and sugar. When cooled, the starch solidifies the liquid and creates a delicate, firm, and almost jelly-like sweet treat. The base is highly versatile and is usually incorporated with traditional Iranian spices and ingredients to provide different flavor combinations. Typical additions include rose water, cardamom, saffron, pomegranate juice, pomegranate seeds, and crushed or chopped nuts. When cooled, they can be cut into different shapes such as diamonds or rectangles, and can even come served in individual bowls or molds. Iranians prefer to enjoy them during ceremonies and festivities when they are lavishly and intricately decorated. Since masghati treats are easy to make, they are also regarded as a simple everyday dessert, best served alongside a cup of tea. Masghati is a signature confectionery of the Fars province, and one of the authentic souvenirs of the area. src.: https://www.tasteatlas.com/masghati

Unprecedented Gifts for an Envoy
The commentary on the significance of the highly priced gifts sent abroad highlights their exceptional nature. It is noted that no other envoy had been entrusted with such valuable offerings before.
Meticulous Handling of Gifts
In Izzi’s annals, the meticulous process of handing over the gifts to the Ottoman envoy, Kesriyeli Ahmet Pasha, is described. Each gift, with its pre-determined price, was individually sealed by the Grand Vizier and then sent to the Private Treasury for packaging while Pasha himself prepared for the journey to Iran.
Presentation of Gifts
On the designated day, Haci Ahmet Pasha was invited to the Palace for the formal handing over of the gifts, which were then delivered to his residence. This tradition underscored the ceremonial importance attached to the exchange of valuable gifts.
Ceremonial Tradition
The tradition of sending envoys abroad with gifts was deeply ingrained in diplomatic protocol. The envoy of Nadir Shah, for instance, participated in the evaluation of treasury items alongside Ottoman officials. Following the evaluation, a ceremonial dessert and coffee event was held, where Sultan Mahmut I presented the Iranian envoy with gifts including the “Imperial monogram” and other valuable items Istanbul Private Tours Mevlevi.
Envoy’s Journey and Return
Accompanied by the ceremonial farewell, Kesriyeli Ahmet Pasha embarked on his journey to Iran. However, upon his arrival in July 1747, he learned of Nadir Shah’s murder due to internal turmoil. Consequently, Pasha returned to Baghdad with the valuables, awaiting further instructions from Istanbul.
Through these accounts, we gain insight into the elaborate diplomatic rituals and procedures surrounding the exchange of valuable gifts and the responsibilities entrusted to Ottoman envoys during Sultan Mahmut I’s reign.

I was born on Yom Kippur, and my mom insisted on fasting the day she gave birth. This should tell you all you need to know about my mother’s commitment to obligations of family and faith. So it should come as no surprise that for as long as I remember, despite the fact that she was fasting herself, she’d manage to prepare an elaborate Persian dinner for my family to break our Yom Kippur fast.
Between long hours at the synagogue and naps to stay alert, my mom would make big, steamy pots of basmati rice with dill and fava beans, and roasted cornish game hens strewn with dried fruit, their skin perfectly crisp, their juices fragrant with saffron and slowly caramelizing onions. 
But America has its way of getting under your skin. While we loved these delicious flavors, my sister and I came to realize that our mom’s toiling was just too much, and really, after 25 hours with no food or drink, our bodies actually craved something lighter and simpler.
So, these days, our Yom Kippur break fast is a classic Ashkenazi spread: bagels with cream cheese, lox, and cucumbers — all the new-to-us flavors we’ve come to embrace over our family’s four decades in the United States. 
Despite our main course skewing Ashkenazi, one thing hasn’t changed. Just as my parents did with their own families in Iran as far back as they remember, the first three things we consume as soon as we get home from synagogue are pure Iranian Jewish tradition: a cup of hot black tea, a warm, comforting soft-boiled egg, and faloodeh seeb. 
Somewhere between a beverage and a dessert, faloudeh seeb is a refreshing mix of shredded apples in a light rosewater syrup, served over ice. You can alternate eating spoonfuls of the apple mixture and sipping the cool, fragrant juice. It’s truly the perfect way to rejuvenate your parched and weary body. 
A note on apples: As this recipe is so simple, it’s only as good as its ingredients. Fuji or Gala apples work great here, as do Jonagold, Honeycrisp, or any other crisp, sweet apple. Avoid Granny Smith apples, as they’re too sour, and Red Delicious, as they’re too mealy.
A note on rosewater: Different brands of rosewater vary wildly in their potency. Domestic brands tend to be far less fragrant than imports (typically from Lebanon — I like Cortas), so adjust the rosewater amount to taste. You’ll want the rosewater’s scent and taste to be evident, but not overpowering.
