Caspian cuisine

Caspian cuisine is a regional cuisine found in Northern Iran, primarily found in the Mazandaran, Gilan, Alborz, and Golestan provinces.[1] The recipes are diverse, just like the region's landscape. Nature in the Mazandaran region of Iran is distinct and varied sections with a mixture of coastal, plains, prairies, forests, and rainforests.[2] The Mazandarani cuisine of coastal regions is very different from that of mountainous regions since people settled in the Alborz usually use the indigenous herbs, while coastal populations prepare dishes using local fish and Caspian (Mazani) rice with vegetables.
