From 1941 to 1979, the Iranian oil nation was lead by Shah Reza Pahlavi. In Persian, the old Iranian language, Shah means king. The Shah’s full name was Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The oil in Iran was very valuable, and the Shah used this ingredient to start to prepare his dish. When Reza Pahlavi became the chef, he started to trade his ingredients with America.

On the same day, March 19, 1976, he replaced the Islamic calendar with the traditional Persian calendar. This caused disagreement and anger in the people of Iran. This is key in cooking a revolution, the tension between the government and the nation creates a unique flavour in the revolution. Demonstrations are also important, they provide a nice texture at the end. For example in 1978, many anti-shah groups caused trouble in major cities of Iran such as, Tehran, Isfahan, Ahvaz, and Qom. During this time and because of the Shah’s actions Ayatollah’s popularity grew. In December the army resisted orders from the Shah, on January 16th, 1979, the Shah fled from the kitchen. In February 1, 1979, the religious leader, gained control over the kitchen. He had returned after 15 years of exile, 2 weeks after the Shah had fled the
