Good job Mr K, just a couple of suggestions:
1-Need an about section and contact section in your website.
2-I think the video clips on uTube are too long, maybe if you do some prepping ahead of time, it won’t go on so long. A Sekanjebin receipe went for 2 clips more than 20 minutes.
3-I think it’s better of you botton up your shirt in your videos, I just saw one clip that your bottons were open all the way to your belly. I know that was fashion back home a long time ago, but not too attractive here.
Thank you and keep up the good work
Thank you Ray for all your suggestions. I have been here most of my life and dont know much about fashion back home.
I think its good to unbutton your shirt
I have lived in England all my life (though my parents are Irani) and I think western people are just too uptight about that. I do it and like to think I look like Ferry Farokhzad. Zendebad agha kshar 
Kshar do you have a DVD that has All of your recipies on one DVD.. I follow a lot of your videos on Youtube and I would like all of them …
Jeffrey, I don’t have a DVD that has everything. Honestly, we have not seen a need to produce that collection as everything is available free here on the website and on YouTube. Subscribe to the email list so you don’t miss any of the new releases. Thanks for being a part of my community.
would be happy to give you a good recepi for shirazi fallodeh which is made of suger, rice noodles, rose water and …. very very good. let me know.
I always encourage every one to give me any recipe that they are proud of and I love to compare notes. Thank you so much.
Hello Kshar I just wanted to tell you thank you for all the awsome recipes of Persian food, and all the wonderful design tips you give us. I’m Assyrian from Iran lived here since I was 5 and I was really never too interested in learning how to make traditional food until I ran into your videos on YouTube looking for salad Olivieh recipe, and now I am addicted to watching your videos and trying the recipes for my self so I say to you thank you and most importantly my husband thanks you very much too, we have been married for 7 years now and I have never cooked as much as I have in the past couple of weeks. One request can you do a video on shola zard I’m not sure if I have spelled it correct but it’s the rice and safaron dish. Again thank you and keep up the good work!
hello,thank you so much dear for your kind words. shole zard, should be in our library, the activity in the kitchen is going to be limited next month (every one is vacationing). will take care of it soon.
Thank you Kshar you are the best! By the we love you poetry a lot
hi kshar,how are you? i need to know how to do the red water sauze kaffran
Hello Juan, this is saffron water you are talking about. One portion of saffron powder to 20 portion of hot water.
Love your cooking videos on youtube! Saffron is so expensive > Do you have any hints on where to get it @ the best price? and best quality. Years ago I saw a tiny bottle at Walmart for 19 dollars ,no telling how much it is now!
thanks so much. I wish I was your friend or neighbor LOL
Charlee
Yes , you are right Charlee, but you don’t need to use a lot, I do some times go crazy with saffron LOL. No the cheapest would be to get it from Iran. that is what i do. I thank you for your support. Keep it cooking.
Dear Kshar,
I recieved my DVD today and I remember during the live broadcast you said due to malfunction of the production, if you order you will receive both DVD’s for the price of one. I recieved only one DVD. Can you please explain to me what really I was suppose to receive. Thank you for your cooperations
Dear Antoine, kabob DVD consist of two DVDs DVD l and DVD 2,and what I meant was that my DVDs goes for 47 each and we were going to charge 87 for both, but because of the problem we had that day for broadcasting I decided to sell both DVDs for 47 which is the price of one for those who joined me on live event, and now the kabab DVD is no longer for 47. I hope I could have explained it to your satisfaction… How do you like the DVD? keep it cooking

Do you use fermentation or vinegar for making the torshi in your DVD?
Vinegar Maryam khanoom..
Hi KShar,
I ordered BBQ and RICE DVDs, on which courier you usually ship and how much time it usually takes to deliver to CANADA.
I am sure your question has been answered by now, thank you for your order and please keep it cooking.
Mr. K, I just saw your videos for the first time and i have to say, you are such an inspiration!!! I learned so much from you already. I can’t wait to watch all your videos… I found out your website because i was looking for a albaloo polo recipe that used jarred albaloos not fresh ones. But i am already in love with your website!! god bless you and keep doing them!
Thank you Noosheen khanoom. keep it cooking

My dad always cooks for me but this time i like to do you by my self with your help so keep it cooking the way you say all the time (:
salam azizam, tell me how you like it, with sour grapes, or tomato?
Hi Mr. K Shar,
I love your videos on youtube and have turned my young adult daughter to them to watch & learn how to cook Persian meals. One thing though, there seems to be no ingredient measurement and so it is difficult to prepare meals. What suggestions do you have to remedy this.
Sincerely,
Cia
My new e-book is coming out soon. with all the measurements for dishes.
with tomato…i will be very happy to see a video of how you cook Khoreshte Lape thank you so much and tace care your self (:
will do it soon.
Kshar,
Thank you for spending your time to make such wonderful videos. I am half persian, half mexican but my dad passed away when I was a little girl. Thus, I never had the opportunity to learn the language, learn the culture, or learn how to cook persian food. Your videos have encouraged me to go to the grocery store and purchase all these delicious ingredients. I am now trying my best to try and cook all these things. Thank you so much for your poetry, food, and beautiful decorations. Your simple videos touch many hearts.
Sincerely,
Nassrin
salam Nassrin, jon, your comment touched my heart. If there is any thing that i can do to help your cooking, please let me know. Keep it cooking.
Dear KShar,
do you know the receipe of khoresht beh and khalvarde? thank you
Yes Farshid, i have the recipe for khoresht beh on the site, go and click on it and there you will have it.
Salam Dadash.joon i want to open a iranian resturant at dubai.i want your suggestion and what menu do u suggest and can you tell me from where i can get good chefs.thanks and wish u best of luck.
salam doost man, i have been in this bus for a long time. You need to be very familiar with cooking your self, the menu should be short and sweet , don’t offer a lot of dishes at first, see your customers and then add on as you go on. as for the chef i think putting an ad in persian news papers should do it. I wish you best of luck, and keep it cooking.
Kshar jan,
I am still waiting for your spice mixes that you were going to put for sale…like advieh for polo.
thank you
GIVE ME YOUR ADDRESS AND I WILL MAIL IT TO YOU. HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?
I have watched many of your shows and tried your fish and chicken and vegetable recipes. And I give you four stars on all of them.
In your illurstrations you have a pre mixed bottle of saffron mix. How do you make that, and how much saffron and water do you use?
I would like to make enough for several days.

Eunice
Thank you for watching, it is saffron water, powder saffron and hot water, don’t need to make much, the ratio is one to ten portion.

If you are looking for more, please email info@kshar.net with your request. You may be able to purchase a DVD recording of the content you are looking for.
Hello Mr.Kshar,
I absolutely love your videos on YouTube! I’ve just married my husband whom is Iranian and your videos have helped me a lot! I love that you go into details because it helps plenty. Even my mother-in-law is surprised lol! Anyways, I’d like to thank you and ask if maybe you can make any videos on dessert? And where can I buy good saffron?
Thank you so much dear jasmine, love to have you on my site we are working on dessert and beside Iran Mediterranean market would be good place.
Hello Mr.KShar!
Thank you for spending your time to make such wonderful videos.
you are the bestttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
thank you dear baran , am i correct thinking that your name is rain? if yes this is my favorite name. and if you are persian, mercy azizam, and thank you if you are not, keep it cooking.
I have not seen any new videos from you. Are you in process of making one?
MR.KSHAR You are the best,thats all I have to say. You’r teaching techniques are great.I wish you the best my brother THANKYOU and GOODLUCK .
Great instructions – glad I found your videos. We love persian food and it is difficult to find consistent preparation, even our favorite place on the peninsula can be just a little careless at times.
Do you have sources for shopping in the Bay Area for special ingredients, special pans for rice, specifically in Oakland-Berkeley?
Best place to purchase saffron?
What is the difference between basmati and ‘aged basmati’? Which is best for persian rice recipes?
We don’t have an outdoor grill, at what temp and timing can I cook the joojeh kabobs in the oven, broil (hi or low), rack position?
Can I use wooden skewers, or does metal produce better results?
what type of oil do you use when making sauces (for joojeh for example), oiling pans, etc. ?
Do I need a special pot for rice dishes? Special pot for Tadig crust to form?
Please forgive all of the questions – they come to mind.
I am interested in one of your DVD? Are they thorough?
I checked your video on the cutlets. Is it possible to bake them in the oven rather than fry?
Hi Kshar. I love your videos ,very nice job. I tried to make kebob but it falls off . Do you have any advise? By the way I found Safron on Penzeys Spices they have different kind . The one from Kashmir is the best . There is not Persian Safron there .you also can order it on line at http://www.penzeys.com I think the biggest butler was about 28 $.
Thanks again
Dear kshar,
How about mash polo with dates? There’s no video for this online.
Thanks
Hello kshar,
Your food is amazing. I’m so glad we have someone like you teaching persian cuisine. I’ve tried having my mother-in law / friends teach me how to make persian food. No one could . So I went on you-tube and found you . I’m truly blessed because now I show friends and family the art and work you have shown me and people on your website. A billon thanks to you kshar ! :)))
